This year marks the 100th anniversary of the publication of the Scofield Reference Bible (1909). It is hard to believe in our era of study Bibles for most every demographic group that the Scofield Bible was the first of its kind. The Scofield Reference Bible was uniquely responsible for popularizing dispensational theology, eventually making dispensationalism the theology assumed by everyday English-speaking Christians for much of the twentieth century.This book, written by American Todd Mangum (author of The Dispensational-Covenantal Rift) and Irish scholar Mark Sweetnam, explores the origins and impact of the Scofield Reference Bible on both sides of the Atlantic. Readable and fair, it provides insight into the approach, intentions and theology of the Scofield Bible, valuable to both fans and critics of the Scofield Bible. It also provides rare insight into the life story of C. I. Scofield himself, which has become a subject of interest and controversy in recent years.CONTENTSChapter 1: Cyrus Ingerson Scofield: A Controversial LifeChapter 2: Theological Roots of the Scofield Reference BibleChapter 3: The Theology of the Scofield Reference BibleChapter 4: The Impact of the Scofield Reference Bible on British PremillennialismChapter 5: The Impact of the Scofield Reference Bible on American Evangelicalism, American Premillennialism, and Early DispensationalismChapter 6: The Scofield Reference Bible and Evangelical Thought 100 Years and Counting
