Editorial standard
Sources should remain accountable.
Exegia distinguishes Scripture, lexical evidence, historical reception, and doctrinal synthesis. Search ranking does not turn a later witness into the biblical text, and a catalog entry does not become a verified edition merely because it is useful.
What Exegia records
How evidence is presented
Scripture is presented first for biblical and theological topics. Original-language associations identify whether a connection is lexical, morphological, or topical. Historical authors and confessions are presented as reception history or doctrinal witnesses, with direct commentary distinguished from broader or inferred association.
Tradition, era, and genre are descriptive metadata. They help readers compare evidence; they do not function as hidden endorsements. Exegia avoids manufacturing agreement or disagreement unless the source relationship is explicit.
Corrections and limits
Public-domain status does not guarantee textual quality. OCR, inherited formatting, incomplete metadata, and variant editions can require further review. Records awaiting that work are labeled accordingly. Corrections should preserve the original source, document the change, and avoid silently modernizing a witness's argument.
