Rooted in the rubrics of "Text and Reading, "¹ this article correlates some of the new advances in the study of Ecclesiastes in the recent past.² 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.

Palabras clave : Polyphony; Dialogism; "dialogic Truth; Dialectic; Narratival Hermeneutics; Reading "cross The Grains"; (cross-graining).
