“It is all too common in many churches around the world for believers to have absorbed the view that they must accept all calamities as the will of God, and many think that they must suffer in silence or even affirm God’s role in the calamities. But this stance of absolute submission to the divine, exemplified by Abraham in Genesis 22, is not typical of biblical faith.”
J. Richard Middleton, Abraham's Silence: The Binding of Isaac, the Suffering of Job, and How to Talk Back to God
