Death and the Perception of the Divine in Zhuang Zi and Qohelet.

This paper aims at re-examining Qohelet in the light of Zhuang zi from whose perspective we will try to understand and highlight the Hebrew sage in his approach to life and death. A cross-textual hermeneutical approach will be employed here. It will provide a framework for creative interaction and fertilization of two texts of which Biblical scholars in China find themselves in possession, and enrich our understanding of the one in relation to the other through the interplay of the ―alien‖ and the ―familiar‖.
