[1] In the introduction to the anthology, Sedeńko mentioned that the theme of the anthology emerged as the main topic of the second volume of contemporary Polish science fiction stories (following the first volume, Wizje alternatywne [pl] [Alternative Visions], where this theme was already signaled in some texts) at the convention in Gdańsk in 1990: "A group of writers decided that this should be a mono-thematic collection, with God, religion, and the church serving as the leitmotif".
[2] Marcin Zwierzchowski wrote that the publication of the anthology confirmed the existence of "a phenomenon characteristic only for Poland, klerycal fiction, meaning stories referencing matters of faith or the church".
[4] Jacek Dukaj analyzes that the anthology was intended to present "the tendency [...] of a strong church involvement in politics, which provoked anti-church sentiments and movements".
[5] Adam Mazurkiewicz [pl] assesses that the anthology distinctly reflects the "diversity of aesthetics and ideological proposals significant for the beginnings of religious science fiction [...].
From a retrospective perspective, it can be regarded as a summa of authorial proposals for presenting religious themes in science fiction literature; this is how the editor perceived it".
