ExegeteShare is:
Exegesis Defined
Professor Gordon Fee writes that exegesis is "the historical investigation into the meaning of the biblical text."
In ExegeteShare, the word "exegesis" takes on another meaning: It is the entirety of the user's responses to the questions and instructions of ExegeteShare, concerning a selected passage of Scripture. Given this meaning, we can say things like, "You can save, download or print this exegesis, or "I'll finish inputting my exegesis after I finish eating my Community Lunch ham sandwich.
Another meaning is in view when a student boasts that he made an A on his "exegesis." There, an exegesis is an academic paper written in partial fulfillment of the requirements of a course in a Bible school or a seminary. There is a difference between an exegesis created with ExegeteShare and an exegesis as an academic paper. Although your professor might like to see a print of your ExegeteShare document (ESD), what he really wants to see is your exegetical paper. That, by the way is the point: Once you have finished your ExegeteShare exegesis, you are in a much better position to write your paper. See Guide for transitioning from ESD to Exegesis Paper.
