In a religion of the alliance, the question of meeting with God is posed and on a subordinate level, that of the house of God on Earth. This question haunts the conscience of believers and of the chosen people whose itinerary is described in the Bible.

Given that this habitation is not necessarily confined to the Temple, how is God's house symbolised? What theology has it inspired? With what advantages, what problems, what perversions?"
