In an historic venue within which praises to God have routinely been sung, some 3,000 audience members in the venerable Salt Lake Tabernacle were treated Saturday night to an evening of specific musical praise during an interfaith “Concert of Praise for God’s Word.”

“This concert is an expression of thankfulness to God for his gift of the Bible,” said Richard Glickstein, president of the National Bible Association, which sponsored the event as part of the organization’s annual National Bible Week observance, during which Salt Lake City has been designated as National Bible City 2013.
