Inbiblical interpretation, aproof text is a passage ofscripture presented as proof for a theological doctrine, belief, or principle.[1]Prooftexting (sometimes "proof-texting" or "proof texting") is the practice of using quotations from a document, either for the purpose ofexegesis, or to establish a proposition ineisegesis (introducing one's own presuppositions, agendas, or biases). Such quotes may not accurately reflect the original intent of the author,[2] and a document quoted in such a manner, when read as a whole, may not support the proposition for which it was cited.[3][4][5][6] The term has currency primarily in theological and exegetical circles.
