Mark Belz brings to life a beautiful story of biblical reconciliation between rich and poor, Jew and Gentile, powerful and weak. The focus is on Naaman, a Syrian general, and his Jewish slave girl, whose simple testimony helps to bring about a spiritual reconciliation between her Syrian master and God. Belz reaches beyond Naaman's miraculous healing in the river Jordan to examine its wide-ranging implications: among them, the greater truth of God's love for the Gentiles and the breadth of the gospel's reach.
