The Jacob Jocz annual lecture is part of a Jewish Christian and Messianic Studies academic initiative. It is built on the legacy of one of Wycliffe College’s most celebrated faculty members, Rev Dr Jacob Jocz (1906-1983). This annual lectureship engages facets of Jewish Christianity and Messianic Judaism.
Featured Speaker: Jennifer M. Rosner is affiliate associate professor of systematic theology at Fuller Theological Seminary. She also serves on the faculty of Azusa Pacific University, Messianic Jewish Theological Institute, and The King’s University. Her areas of expertise include contemporary Jewish-Christian relations, Judaism, and systematic theology.
Jesus was Jewish, and God’s enduring covenant with the people of Israel is central for understanding the essence of the Christian gospel. These two theological fundamentals present a host of questions about Christian identity and discipleship. In Christ, is there any ongoing meaningful distinction between Jew and Gentile? How can Christians faithfully follow Jesus, the Jewish Messiah? What does it look like for Christian faith to honour both unity in Christ, and the very real diversity that defines us and our communities? How do social and cultural particulars inform faithful discipleship? How does all of this relate to the God of Israel? Finally, what does all of this look like concretely in our daily lives of faith?
This event is free and open to the public; no registration is required.
