==Other traditions==
The Unification Church does not accept the "immaculate conception" (i.e., the traditional Christian doctrine of the virgin birth), teaching rather that [[Zechariah]] was the father of Jesus. Unification Theology likens this to the story of [[Tamar]] who became pregnant by her father-in-law [[Judah]].
