 We spent hours over the years exegeting our ancient texts. We've poured over them to extract their truest meaning, worn out of their unique context, brimming with transformative power. We've done this work so that we might offer them in our own feeble ways to the people of our various communities. But there's a missing exegesis. It's the complex work of exegeting these varied people and communities we love so much. To extract the truest meaning of their lives, worn out of the unique context of their stories, brimming with transformative power for the places in the world that they occupy. So may we immerse ourselves in this missing exegesis.
