Someone recommended the Scofield Bible to me. I plan to order one and check it out. Anyone have any thoughts about it they’d like to share, I’d appreciate your insight.
***Someone recommended the Scofield Bible to me.***
The Scofield is just a KJV, Oxford version, with Scofield’s notes. I just got rid of mine as I no longer believe his notes are correct. I get my bibles from Bibles Direct.com.
They are true English Oxford and Cambridge bibles with no notes.
RE: Someone recommended the Scofield Bible to me.
The notes and commentary in that Bible translation lean definitely DISPENSATIONAL when it comes to their view of prophecy and the second coming.
See here for details:

The Scofield refers to the notes, I have a NIV and NKJV with Scofield notes, so it’s not just KJV.
Like the other person that answered you, I’m starting to get away from a Bible with notes that tell me what to think/feel/believe, it’s okay if they explain, but Scofield did more than that.
