Many assume 19th-century missionaries were the main culprits behind colonial racism. But Dr. Robert Woodberry reveals a more complicated truth: universities were teaching "scientific racism" and racial hierarchies. Missionaries didn't invent these ideas—they were swimming in those intellectual waters. Yet their theological conviction that everyone was created by God gave many missionaries a basis to push back against racial hierarchies when the world was drunk on them.
