VISTA PANORÂMICA DO ANTIGO TESTAMENTO: Livro por livro
by C.I. Scofield
Em 1 de janeiro de 1909 Scofield escreveu: "os últimos cinquenta anos têm presenciado um crescimento, tanto em amplitude como em intensidade, do interesse no estudo bíblico. Isso não tem precedente na história da igreja cristã. Nunca antes se tinha visto um grande número de homens reverentes, doutos e espirituais, que se dedicassem ao estudo das Escrituras com uma mente tão livre do motivo de mera controvérsia. Uma vasta literatura tem sido produzida, exegética e expositiva, que devido a sua extensão e custo, e o tempo que seria necessário para se examinar, se torna inacessível, para o leitor comum". Scofield, então, se propôs, diante de sua preocupação, resumir, ordenar e condensar esse grande conjunto de materiais. Nas páginas que se seguem estão uma pequena parte do seu trabalho.

Cyrus Ingerson Scofield was an American theologian, minister and writer. During the early twentieth century, his best-selling annotated Bible popularized dispensationalism among fundamentalist Christians.
President Grant appointed him United States Attorney for Kansas in 1873. He worked as a lawyer in Kansas and Missouri from 1869 to 1882. He was converted at 36, he was ordained to the Congregational ministry in 1882, and served as pastor of the First Church, Dallas, Texas (1882-1895), and again (1902-1907); and of the Moody Church, Northfield, Massachusetts (1895-1902).
Through the influence of private talks with Hudson Taylor of the China Inland Mission and also a book by a brilliant journalist traveler, William Eleroy, Scofield established the Central American Mission in 1890. Later years were spent lecturing on biblical subjects on both sides of the Atlantic. Hundreds of thousands have appreciated and use his famous Scofield Reference Bible, the work for which he is best remembered.
Cyrus Ingerson Scofield was an American theologian, minister and writer. He was born in Lenawee County, Michigan, but during the American Civil War he served for a year as a private in the 7th Tennessee Infantry, C.S.A.. By 1866 he was in St. Louis, Missouri working in his brother-in-law's law office. Admitted to the Kansas bar in 1869, he was elected to the Kansas legislature as a Republican in 1871 and 1872 and was appointed U.S. attorney for the district of Kansas.
After his conversion to evangelical Christianity in 1879, Scofield assisted in the St. Louis campaign conducted by Dwight L. Moody and served as the secretary of the St. Louis YMCA. Significantly, Scofield came under the mentorship of James H. Brookes, pastor of Walnut Street Presbyterian Church, St. Louis, a prominent dispensationalist premillennialist.
Scofield's correspondence Bible study course was the basis for his Reference Bible, an annotated, and widely circulated, study Bible first published in 1909 by Oxford University Press. Scofield's notes teach dispensationalism, a theology that was in part conceived in the early nineteenth century by the Anglo-Irish John Nelson Darby, who like Scofield had also been trained as a lawyer.
Scofield died at his home in Douglaston, Long Island, in 1921.
