Synopsis

The Transgression Box is a uniquely allegorical science-fiction novel that examines the problems of American Christianity much as Pilgrims Progress did for its generation. Set in a fictional galaxy, it is the story of Dornin the village liar who brings an object into the village that causes, through a series of events, half of his people to fall into an unending slumber. Finally feeling guilty for something he has done, Dornin sets off to take the object, a small metal box, to "throw it off the edge of the world". Little does Dornin realize that he is about to send himself headlong into a perilous adventure that spans the galaxy. He steals the box away from his village elders (which he discovers are really monstrous dopplegangers) and begins his quest, only to discover that try as he might, he cannot destroy the box no matter what he tries. To his horror, the box is alive, and it speaks terrible evil to him. He is the only one who can hear it, and it leads him into terrible evil. On his journey he is sold into slavery, becomes part of an underground rebellion, is rescued by malevolent benefactors, is nearly executed for his growing faith barely escapes from the maker of the boxes, and ultimately maroons himself in space as a final act of that faith. He is surprised to discover that the box is finally destroyed by the Maker of the Universe who is embodied in his son, Kebes Arieh. Kebes Arieh arms him with tools and weapons he can use to defeat the vile elders, and he returns to his planet to liberate his people. Dornin's tale is one in which all of us can find commonality. Follow Dornin on his perilous journey, and watch as his faith grows through adversity and discovery.
