Okay, so maybe it was a biblical scholar in-joke. But I liked it!

for the non-biblical scholars amongst us then:
exegesis - an explanation or critical interpretation (especially of the Bible)
eisegesis - personal interpretation of a text (especially of the Bible) using your own ideas
epexegesis - a full or additional explanation

I liked it, too, Padre. Has a certain apocacalypso rhythm to it.
