Abstract

This study explores the relationship of the Old testament Jewish diaspora to contemporary diaspora, applying the resulting Jewish framework to the particular experience of the Sri Lankan diaspora resident in the Gulf Cooperation Council. The study is archival in method, quantitative and qualitative in approach and is built on interdisciplinary research applied to the field of diaspora missiology. It concludes that the framework of the Old Testament Jewish diaspora experience provides a formative paradigm from which to discern the social and theological dynamics that shape the experiences sucha s that of the Sri lankan community in the GCC.
