>>Though, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poul_Anderson#Time_Patrol doesn't mention the "End of time" title. You may have confused it with Asimov's "End of eternity" (which deals with pretty much the same time patrol idea); maybe it was "The only game in town", the title seems familiar.

>It's possible what you say. But ths Anderson book definitely featured time tourists and the crucifixion.
>UPDATE: Come to think of it, I HAVE read "End of Eternity" so maybe the Anderson WAS Time Patrol.

I actually had to read both Asimov and Anderson again just to clear my memory :). After a number of years, they tended to get mixed up in there.

>>And Harrison's stuff always amazed me - you get a lot of laughs from a technically correct and very imaginative text, and action never seems to even slow down. Specially his Steel Rat series.

>Never read any of them. Sorta the title put me off.

Jim DiGriz is quite a character. Griz, btw, is "bite" in Serbian, and that's not the only reference to the language. In one of the books there's a Sergeant Neuredan, which means, well, opposite of neat or orderly.

Maybe you should read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Technicolor_Time_Machine - in the end Harrison does propose exactly the crucifixion tour you were talking about. It would be interesting to see which book came about first.
