"A Serious Ethnological Exhibition": The Indian Congress Of The Trans-Mississippi & International Exposition Of 1898, J. Brent Etzel

This paper describes how the biblical doctrines rediscovered during the Protestant Reformation have liberated Christians to study and even excel in fields such as engineering and technology. I describe first how dualism …
