C. I. Scofield was the man most responsible for the popularization of dispensational premillennialism. Influenced by the dispensationalism of J. N. Darby, Scofield was a regular on the Bible conference circuit and established a correspondence course that enrolled several thousand students. His book, 'Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth', is still in print and his dispensational charts appeared in fundamentalist churches throughout the twentieth century. Scofield's crowning achievement was the publication of the Scofield Reference Bible in 1909. Trumbull's biography is the only book-length look at the life of the man who had one of the greatest impacts on twentieth-century American fundamentalism.

Jesus Christ is coming again! That is the Blessed Hope which has since the earliest days of the Church energized Biblical Christians looking for the full revelation of God's redemption. The author sketches the history of interpretations of Christ's second coming and then carefully and lucidly examines the Biblical passages on which this doctrine is based. His conclusion is that the Blessed Hope is the second coming of Jesus Christ, not a pretribulation rapture that believers in a secret coming of Jesus. Yet he concludes that there should be liberty and charity within the Christian community for all who hold to the expectation of "the blessed hope and appearing in glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ."

Historian Paul Boyer notes that Scofield is "a towering figure in twentieth-century premillennialism." The Concise Dictionary of Christianity in America observes that "Scofield's influence on the evangelical / fundamentalist movement of the early twentieth century was enormous." But who was this man C.I. Scofield? What was the character of this evangelical giant? Does he deserve the adulation of millions of Christians? Even if you're familiar with C.I. Scofield and actually know what the "C" and the "I" stand for, and even if you own a dozen copies of the Scofield Reference Bible, you may still be Scofield-deficient. But not any more! In this work by former dispensationalist David Lutzweiler you will discover "the enigmatic life and theology of C.I. Scofield." Scofield's dominant role in evangelicalism renders a knowledge of his life essential for understanding our times. - Back cover.
