Abstract
Biblical interpretations of Naaman’s story have focused on main characters such as Elisha or Naaman in order to highlight Naaman’s conversion or God’s universal love. But Naaman’s story could not have been possible without the slave girl who sparked the events leading to Naaman’s healing despite a situation that might have involved risks for her. Nevertheless, the slave girl has remained as an insignificant figure in the text as well as in biblical interpretations. By focusing on the important role of the slave girl, this article retells Naaman’s story in order to draw a fresh message that can be used to provide a paradigm for women (and girls) in modern faith communities.
