Through the Editor's Eyes
Random Thoughts

Catherine Groves
Catherine Groves explains that a pair of pieces sets the tone for this issue, that "myriad are the ways to look at the same side of a coin." Our duo? "Neelix Agonistes" by Robert M. Price and "Neelix at the Ready" by Groves.

A Blast from
Our Past
Neelix Agonistes

Robert M. Price
Hailing from the July-September 1998 Christian*New Age Quarterly, our featured reprint for this issue is "Neelix Agonistes." Calling it "great narrative theology," Robert M. Price explores "Mortal Coil" of the Star Trek: Voyager series. Voyager's morale officer, the Talaxian Neelix, dies but is revived — and has a crisis of faith realizing that no Talaxian Great Forest awaits after death. How does Neelix resolve this crisis? How would we? Price's essay goes far further than at first meets the eye.

Neelix at the Ready

Catherine Groves
After confirming her delight with Price's "Neelix Agonistes," Groves offers her own, quite different take on "Mortal Coil." She speculates that "as everyone wears his own particular cognitive overlay upon what falls into his or her field of vision, meaning changes from person to person."
