This study is the first sustained attempt        to challenge that view.                 It does so by focusing on a hitherto overlooked collocation within the        chapter, and concludes that the prayer portrays YHWH as being present        both in heaven and in the building.                 Such a finding inevitably has consequences for wider issues involving        divine presence both within and beyond the confines of 1 Kings 8. These        include a cluster of ideas traced to the large central section of the        chapter and involving a purely transcendent Deity, a (semi-)independent        divine \"name\" inhabiting the sanctuary and an effectively desacralized        temple. All three, together with the scholarly construct known as Name        Theology, are called into question if YHWH is indeed represented as        being localized within the temple.","brand":"Peeters Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49546351771991,"sku":"9789042946255","price":61.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/praying-to-the-temple-divine-presence-in-solomons-prayer-9789042946255","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
