Description
Summary:Rooted in the rubrics of “Text and Reading,” this article correlates some of the new advances in the study of Ecclesiastes in the recent past. Employing four intentionally hammered out reading strategies—reading polyphonically; reading “cross the grains”; reading dialectically and reading narrativally, it seeks to demonstrate that the integration of four perspectival readings will enrich the meaning-significance of the book. Moreover, it aims at a proposal that would make some sense of this paradoxical book. https://doi.org/10.17159/2312-3621/2021/v34n3a14
