###Yes and No There are two types of questions here that seem to be on topic: hermeneutical questions and exegetic questions. If you're asking about hermeneutics, you're asking about a particular approach or theory. There's not really much "text" involved unless your quoting text from a theory. In this sense, we can't really require text. If you're asking for exegesis, then you're wanting the translation or interpretation of a given piece of biblical text. In this case, you really do need to include at least *some* text for the question to make any sense. For example of a survey question regarding a word in multiple places, see [How can we understand “fear”?](http://hermeneutics.stackexchange.com/questions/131/how-can-we-understand-fear). I included multiple passages for exegesis and translation so that people answering the question would have some traction to the question. Otherwise, the question becomes impossibly broad.
