Abstract
The contradictions in Ecclesiastes have generated diverse interpretations or controversies. Whatever the differing conclusions of scholars, however, contradiction is an indicator of problem that needs to be resolved in order to arrive at an expected conceptual or literary unity. This is distinctly a modernist belief. To overcome the limitations of modern approaches, this study adopts Bakhtin¿s concept of ¿dialogized interior monologue¿ and contends that Qohelet¿s contradictions are constructed through multiple dialogic voices. That is, the contradictory utterances in Qohelet¿s wisdom discourse represent dialogues of unmerged multiple voices in Qohelet¿s monologue. This study tries to reanimate those voices.
