exegesis - meaning lock yourself in the divinity school library and read pages and pages of text focusing on a single word of the biblical text

Yes that is how I spent my afternoon. I actually have two exegesis due for two different classes. I have a less formal exegesis for preaching class to go along with my sermon on 1 Timothy 1:12-17. I have a second extremely formalized (meaning long 14 pages plus) on Hosea 14:2-8. Actually, I am enjoying the research, it takes me back to the Jewish Roots course that Kathy taught. The problem is, I think in short concise thoughts. I'm not sure I can expound for 14 pages even on the imagery of Hosea's poetry.
