This paper, will contrast the use of apocalyptic and its relation to imperialism between recent Christian theological works on the one hand and writing from Indigenous and
majority world thinkers on the other—the latter being those most adversely affected by
colonial modernity and Christian mission. By turning to post-colonial science fiction, I will show the apocalyptic position of western theory and religion to be ongoing colonial standpoint, an ongoing failure to analyze the complex, global conditions we face. Furthe, I will show that post-colonial science fiction can help us face the loss of our mythical totality, or the god’s eye-view of the world. Turning to such literature can in fact animate religions discourse and offer the genuine possibility of a radical break in thinking, a new theological language for the apocalypse, an apocalypse that has abandoned the colonial project and the discourse that has travelled with it.
