Description
Uncle Yeshu, Messiah is a historical novel, and novels are by definition fiction. I have therefore invented dialogue, thoughts, and whole scenes, which have no source other than my imagination. Jesus’ first trip to Jerusalem, the narrator’s trip to Rome, and Nathanael’s role in commissioning the genealogy found in Matthew are such scenes. Similarly, I have no reason whatsoever to believe that Jesus’ cousin Shimeown wrote the Q gospel—but I do not know beyond dispute that he did not. And while falsification of known facts is not acceptable in a historical novel, anything that conceivably could have happened is legitimate.
