    Kindly submit a brief history of exegesis by comparing and contrasting the Jewish

    exegesis and the Christian exegesis.

    The history of exegesis covers its totality – past, present, and future. Hence, it
    can be rightfully expounded with the similarity and difference between Jewish exegesis
    and Christian exegesis. Both religions are monotheistic and share common scriptures
    such that the Christian’s Old Testament is the Jews’ Bible or Tanakh. Also, the influence
    brought by the two is undeniable as cited how Jewish exegetical tradition supported the
    Scriptural exegesis of the Reformation era. Most likely, conversions happened from
    Judaism to Christianity interchangeably, too. However, the various interpretations of the
    Scriptures such that “Christians referring themselves to the person of Jesus Christ,
    Jews to the Torah” made them different from one another. In consonance with the
    specifications, at most during Moses’ time was when the Jewish interpretation of the
    scriptures started. It can be deduced from the existence of recent canonical and
    apocryphal books. In their method, Palestinian Jews’ interpretation differs from the
    Hellenistic. Under Palestinian Exegesis, as agreed by all Jewish interpreters, the double
    sense of Scripture – literal and mystical were admitted. While in Hellenistic Exegesis, an
    allegorical explanation of the Scripture was preferred by the Alexandrian Jews in line
    with complementing the inspired records of Greek philosophy’s principles. Conforming
    to Christian Exegesis, it can be discerned on three great periods: ends about A.D. 604;
    bringing us up to the Council of Trent; embraces the time after the Council of Trent.
    Wherein in the Patristic period, there are unique classes of exegetes: Apostolic and
    apologetical writers that disclose how “early Christians use Scriptures in their religious
    meetings as the Jews employed them in the synagogues”, Greek Fathers that are
    associated with the Encyclical “Providentissimus Deus” and Latin Fathers who agreed
    also with the twofold sense of Scripture. Simultaneously, in the second period of
    Exegesis, A.D. 604-1546, Greek writers' and Latin writers’ contributions were
    comprehensibly considered. Finally, in the third period, Catholic and Protestant
    exegetes are distinguished. Verily, knowing the history of exegesis is like recognizing
    our roots and strengthened our reason to value what it becomes today. Thus,
    determining what it is to be stopped, and the many things to continue.
