You might be interested in Mark S. Smith's book Where the Gods Are: Spatial Dimensions of Anthropomorphism in the Biblical World. Although you appear to be more interested in the character of God, I think his character, or different views of his character are linked to the views of his form and where he resides. In this respect, Smith shows from the biblical text and from the Ugaritic material that there are 3 forms of God. The first form is the Yhwh that visits Abraham. This form of God is of a human-sized being that is actually confused as a human by Abraham. The second form is that of a giant. The third is a God that is everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Anyway, it seems to me that the 3 forms are also related to the capacities of God.
I'd also particularly recommend:
Mark S. Smith, Where the Gods Are: Spatial Dimensions of Anthropomorphism in the Biblical World (New Haven; London: Yale University Press), 2016.
