| Summary: | Is there a connection between the praise of God's people and his presence among them? The present article argues that Scripture does testify to such a connection, which occurs in the context of the covenant relationship between God and his people. The article concentrates on narratives about the initiation of new divine dwellings in both Testaments which are, literally and metaphorically, filled with divine presence in the context of human praise. The passages discussed include the inauguration of the temple of Solomon and the foundation of the new people of God embodying Jews and Gentiles. It is maintained that divine presence does not depend on human preconditions such as worship and expressions of praise, but that there is a correlation, at times reciprocal, and always in the context of the covenant. |
