Were colonial-era missionaries good or bad for Africa? Victor Simz & Jonathan Wilson

from Unbelievable? · host Justin Brierley

Were Victorian missionaries a tool of oppression, exploitation and empire as some critics claim? Or did they leave a legacy of education, healthcare and eradicating inhumane practises?   Victor Simz, known online as the Z Historian, is a Zambian historian who has charted the impact of missionaries in East Africa. He discusses the issues with Jonathan Wilson who comes from a missionary family and believes the story of the positive global impact of missions work is often under-appreciated.   For Victor Simz: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheZHistorian For Jonathan Wilson: https://leadbysoul.com/ For Premier's 'Missions Week' website: https://www.missionsweek.org.uk/   • Subscribe to the Unbelievable? podcast: https://pod.link/267142101 • More shows, free eBook & newsletter: https://premierunbelievable.com • For live events: http://www.unbelievable.live • For online learning: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/training-and-events • Support us in the USA: http://www.premierinsight.org/unbelievableshow • Support us in the rest of the world: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/donate
