OT Notes @ Kings 5 Naaman

1) Naaman, in Hebrew means pleasant/joy , the male form of Naomi, I suppose.
2) Is the servant of Naaman an example of divided loyalties?
3)Naaman rejects the ritual place and method. when do we question ritual so much that we lose a sense of its impact?
4)Leprosy cover a multitude of conditions. it could be Hansen's disease or any number of skin afflictions.
5) Power dynamics run through this story. reflect on how well his servants manipulate his ego.
6) To get a bit of the scandal of the story, imagine how we would react if an Al Qaeda lieutenant came over here for treatment.
7) How does the story remind you of baptism?.
8) Why does God employ simple tools toward healing, do you think?
9) One could do a good comedy turn on the politics of Elisha, Israel, and Syria then.
10) How do you approach healing in 2013?
11) Why does Elisha use intermediary communication?
