3. Celtic Sabbath - Saturday observed as the Sabbath by Celtic Christians.
4. Margaret of Scotland - Margaret comes from England, marries King Malcolm, and attempts to reform Sunday observance in Scotland.
5. Assault on the Sabbath - The Church of Rome promotes the Sabbath (Saturday) fast as an expression of anti-Jewish sentiments.
6. Power Struggle - The "Sabbath fast" becomes a key issue in the rivalry between church leaders in Rome and Constantinople.
7. Deceptions - The "letter from heaven" threatens Sunday-breakers.
8. Fight for Truth - Resistance to church/state authority brings tragedy.
