C. I. Scofield
About the Author
C. I. Scofield (1843-1921) was an influential American theologian, pastor, and Bible scholar whose work profoundly shaped modern evangelical thought and dispensationalist theology. Born in Michigan, Scofield served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War before experiencing a dramatic conversion to Christianity in 1879, which propelled him into ministry. He pastored churches in Dallas and Northfield, Massachusetts, and became renowned for his exhaustive study of Scripture, emphasizing precise interpretation and the distinction between Israel's and the Church's roles in God's plan. Scofield's seminal contributions include his annotations in the Scofield Reference Bible, which popularized premillennialism and has sold millions of copies worldwide. His writings continue to guide readers in understanding biblical prophecy and Christian doctrine with clarity and conviction.
