Protestant missionaries didn't just teach the Bible—they reshaped the world through practical education. Dr. Robert Woodberry explains how they taught math, science, engineering, carpentry, scientific farming, and introduced new crops like cocoa to West Africa and cotton to Uganda. They often taught concepts like private property to protect vulnerable people from exploitation. Instead of reserving education for elites, missionaries empowered ordinary people to build flourishing societies.
