| Plot Summary of Transgression |
|---|
"During an archaelogical dig in Israel three people are transported into the past when Saint Paul of Tarsus was alive-one female archaeologist, and two physicists. Two of the people thrown back in time to ancient Israel are innocent bystanders and victims. However, one is set on destroying modern history by altering ancient events, and is planning a violent act in order to do so. "
