title = "The Cross-Textual Method and the J Stories in Genesis in the Light of a Chinese Philosophical Text",
abstract = "This article consists of three parts: first, a critical reflection on Archie Lee{\textquoteright}s proposal of a “cross-textual” hermeneutics; second, a review of his cross-textual reading of Genesis 1–3; and third, a new reading of some of the J stories in Genesis 2–38 in the light of the teaching of the Chinese philosopher K{\^a}o Tsze is presented. Against Mencius{\textquoteright} view that virtues are innate, K{\^a}o Tsze believes that human nature is neither good nor bad and argues that the two basic instincts “to eat and to mate” are the common nature that humans share with other animals.",
