A Double Vision Hermeneutic: Interpreting a Chinese Pastor's Intersubjective Experience of Shi Engaging Yizhuan and Pauline Texts Samuel Hio-kee Ooi

The aim of this thesis is to unfold the multilayered intersubjective experience of the author himself, a Chinese pastor. The author postulates himself as the subject in whom the said experience was evident, so that it can be analyzed and interpreted. The author argues for a cultural-linguistic experience of shi as the locus at which the intersubjective experience takes place. He then shows that such experience embodies a Chinese Christian?s ?two texts? inheritance, and argues that it is through unfolding or revealing of such experience that the nature of his relationship with them can be demonstrated.
