Abstract: This chapter proposes that in the aftermath of colonisation at least two different Christologies or images of Christ are required. First, the author outlines some of the creative, constructive work currently being done by Indigenous theologians, focusing on Lee Miena Skye and Wayne Te Kaawa. Second, the author suggests the need for a theologia crucis for white Christians in Australia and Aotearoa, an image of Christ that can interrupt settler strategies for avoiding responsibility for colonisation and ignoring Indigenous challenges.
