when we were studying the bible in literature class (so we have the context necessary for later works that reference the bible), i think we were at the book of jonah, and one of my classmates was studying the text very intently, and then looked up and earnestly said “professor, i don’t understand the will of god”
the teacher was just like. well sadly i am a literature teacher and not a priest so i can’t help you there. but if it helps, many people throughout history had the same problem.
