For Rewind Wednesday, I go back to a dangerous part of history for me (the 19th Century, my core playing field in academic days) to reflect on a figure who sincerely hoped that a more scientific approach to religious history could bring about a better world... and who missed the mark in ways we can learn from today.

(Warning: there be Aryanism discussed within. Choose how much historical prejudice you're up for today.)
