N2  - "This work challenges the widely-held assumption that Deuteronomy so emphasizes God's transcendence that it excludes divine immanence in the earthly sphere. It does so by examining a number of possible references to God's Presence in both the historical and legal sections of the book and concludes that the Deity is portrayed as bing present not only in heaven but also in battle, on the mountain (Horeb), and at the "chosen place." The author questions the view, popularized by von Rad, that in Deteronomy it is "not Yahweh himself who is present at the shrine, but only his name, " and succeeds in focusing attention on data relevant to the location of divine Presence in Deteronomy which has hitherto been consigned to the margins of the debate" --
