Jakob Jocz – Theologian of Jewish Christianity

Jakob Jocz (1906-1983) was an Anglican missionary, priest, theologian, professor, and leader in the international Hebrew Christian movement in the period following the Second World War. Born and raised in Central Europe as a third-generation Jewish disciple of Yeshua, he was educated in the United Kingdom, and eventually moved to Canada where he taught theology at Wycliffe College, Toronto.

Ephraim Radner teaches theology at the same institution where Jocz worked for sixteen years. Prof. Radner is himself an Anglican priest, the author of many acclaimed books, and a world-renowned theologian. He is also a member of both the International Coordinating Committee and the Theological Commission of Yachad BeYeshua.

Our Jewish Journey presenter is Hanna Zack Miley. Hanna was born in Germany in 1932, and in the summer of 1939 her parents sent her to England as part of the Kindertransport, in which the lives of 10,000 German Jewish children were saved. Later in life Hanna returned to live in the same town where she was born, reconnecting there with her Jewish family heritage and her German neighbors. She made this move as part of her ministry of reconciliation which she shares with her husband George, a ministry which has taken them to over a hundred countries.
