Constructive Theology must engage with "race" and "whiteness" as primary theological problems, drawing from Philosophy of Race to develop a counternarrative theological method and read science fiction cinema and superhero stories as cultural, racial, and theological documents.

This book contends that "race" and "whiteness" are essential components of the modern world's structure. Constructive Theology must address them as primary theological issues. To do so, it must significantly alter its approach and incorporate insights from the burgeoning field of Philosophy of Race. Christopher M. Baker constructs a genealogy of race that views "whiteness" as a secular soteriology and develops a counternarrative theological method informed by Philosophy of Race resources. He then employs this method to analyze science fiction cinema and superhero stories as cultural, racial, and theological documents that can be critically engaged and repurposed as counternarratives to dominant racial narratives.
