Andrew Wilson is the Academic Dean the Unification Theological Seminary. A long-time member of the Unification Church, he teaches Old Testament and participates in conferences on Jewish-Christian reconciliation. Dr. Wilson is also the editor of World Scripture. The Unification Theological Seminary, located in Barrytown, New York, began its first classes in September 1975. ... The Unification movement was founded in 1954 by Sun Myung Moon, a Korean minister who fled from North Korea during the Korean War. ... The Old Testament or the Hebrew Scriptures (also called the Hebrew Bible) constitutes the first major part of the Bible according to Christianity. ...
Dr. Wilson said:
Jesus understood that the reason why Jews were ignorant of him was not due to any fault of their own, but because certain leaders, like John the Baptist, had misled their people. Jesus also understood that the people who crucified him were not the leading rabbis of his day, but rather leaders of questionable worth, people like Caiaphas who were simply Roman puppets. These leaders held high office, but they didn’t at all represent the religious spirit of mainstream Judaism. [1]
