Overview

Considered a masterpiece at the time of its publication in 1909, the Scofield Reference Bible was C. I. Scofield’s, one of America’s preeminent dispensationalist theologians, magnum opus. It is still held in esteem and continues to be relevant and useful among Christians. The Scofield Reference Bible was published with the aim of helping students understand the text of the Bible when the use of commentaries and other tools were not readily available.

Along with your English translations, all Scripture passages link to Greek and Hebrew texts. What’s more, hovering over a Scripture reference will instantly display your verse!

“The Judgments, Summary: Among the many judgments mentioned in Scripture, seven are invested with especial significance. These are: (1) The judgment of the believers’ sins in the cross of Christ (John 12:31, note); (2) the believers’ self-judgment (1 Cor. 11:31, note); (3) the judgment of the believers’ works (2 Cor. 5:10, note); (4) the judgment of the nations at the return of Christ (Mt. 25:32, note); (5) the judgment of Israel at the return of Christ (Ezk. 20:37, note); (6) the judgment of angels after the one thousand years (Jude 6, note); and (7) the judgment of the wicked dead with which the history of the present earth ends.” (Page 1351)

“The Epistle, exclusive of the introduction (1:1–17), is in seven parts: I. The whole world guilty before God, 1:18–3:20. II. Justification through the righteousness of God by faith, the Gospel remedy for guilt, 3:21–5:11. III. Crucifixion with Christ, the resurrection life of Christ, and the walk in the Spirit, the Gospel provision for inherent sin, 5:12–8:13. IV. The full result in blessing of the Gospel, 8:14–39. V. Parenthesis: the Gospel does not abolish the covenant promises to Israel, 9:1–11:36. VI. Christian life and service, 12:1–15:33. VII. The outflow of Christian love, 16:1–27.” (Page 1191)

“These are two aspects of one truth. Paul speaks of that which justifies man before God, viz.: faith alone, wholly apart from works; James of the proof before men, that he who professes to have justifying faith really has it. Paul speaks of what God sees—faith; James of what men see—works, as the visible evidence of faith. Paul draws his illustration from Gen. 15:6; James from Gen. 22:1–19. James’ key-phrase is ‘ye see’ (Jas. 2:24), for men cannot see faith except as manifested through works.” (Page 1196)
