I think that I don’t find one harder than the other it is more that the church world today has less focus on exegesis which tends to lean us more towards the hermeneutics which fall short without the original intent of a passage.

I currently find hermeneutics more challenging than exegesis, but that might be because I haven’t had enough experience with closely studying the vast majority of the biblical texts.

I think Exegesis would be more challenging since it takes understanding the message based on the culture at the time. The difficulty lies in understanding the culture because it was so much more different than today’s. However, once we get to understand the message, the culture and the why of the message, I think applying the hermeneutics would be easier.

They’re probably equal, the challenge would be to keep them in context. Not rush apply then together.
