True story??

This is a most unusual book. Presented as a non-fiction work, the author purports to have been selected, apparently by Jesus (yes, THE Jesus), to present us with new information on the 1st century earthly life of Jesus . . . or Yehoshua as he was known in that time and culture. Author Ronald Way describes that he was given a vision such that he recounts first hand, through the eyes of a first century man named Asher Ben Ammi, what it was like to walk and talk with Jesus and his followers in the time surrounding the infamous crucifixion. Way also claims to have been face to face with Jesus at the time that he was struck by a blinding light and selected for this task. For the modern day follower of Jesus (a "Christian") this is a most spellbinding tale of the greatest interest. A new extra-biblical look at what it was like to sit and talk with Jesus. What was he like at a "party"? What were the personalities and politics among the disciples? I have some negative observations. I noted a couple of contradictions between what I interpret as biblical truth, and events that Way described. These alone would have raised doubts regarding the credulity of this book. More significantly, the Bible specifically warns regarding accepting extra-biblical revelation. Without getting into theological discourse I'll just have to say that, unfortunately, I cannot accept Way's story as non-fiction. I wish I could. It was engaging reading and stirred the imagination. Perhaps one day I'll learn that Ronald Way is telling the truth. I hope so.
