>>>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.

>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.

I've always got my eyes open in the charity shops near here, so I'll look for that.
