The fancy word is ���exegesis��� but the practice of drawing out meaning in a text is otherwise known as ���picking it apart���. It is a common practice in Christian, Muslim and Jewish scholarship and is often used to apply a critical interpretation to what might seem obvious at first glance.

Christi-Anarchy / kristiaeneki/ n. a Christlike life; lifestyle characterised by the radical, non-violent, sacrificial compassion of Jesus Christ; a way of life distinguished by commitment to love and to justice; working from the bottom up to empower people, particularly the marginalised and disadvantaged, so as to enable them to realise their potential as men and women made in the image of God, through self-directed and other-oriented intentional community groups and organisations; from Christi – ‘Christ’ – and anarche – ‘against the powers’, as in ‘the principalities and powers’.
(Christi-Anarchy, Dave Andrews, 1999)
