Dr. Couch, which is better, the Old Scofield Reference Bible or the Revised Scofield Reference Bible? Is there any difference?
The Revised has some additional thoughts and
clarifications but overall there is no difference. The Revised is just
updated. The revisionists maintained the integrity and purpose of the
original.
Dr. Scofield received an award from the
Academy of Literature of France for his original Reference Bible. It
profoundly influenced fundamentalism in the U. S. when it came out in
1910. It helped stave off liberalism to a degree in this country. And it
made clear God’s future plans and promises to the Jewish people as to
their Land and the coming messianic, Davidic Kingdom.
Thanks for asking,
Dr. Mal Couch
