Abstract

Beyond the empressionistic similarities Chinese and Jews sometimes detect in each other, a study of the scriptural texts of the two traditions reveals surprising parallels. Eleven such parallels in ideas and values are examined and it is suggested that the comparative study of cultural traditions developed independently of each other is a worthwhile undertaking. This serves to apprehend that which is genuinely universal beyond the diversity of expression
