Hall grants Darby sincere conviction while noting his theology was rejected by virtually everyone, including Spurgeon, for 90 years. Then Scofield enters the picture in 1907: a man with no apparent funds, who somehow had his passage paid to Oxford, where he produced the world's first built-in study Bible. Low-church evangelical pastors — Baptists, Methodists, Congregationalists — had no seminary training, no commentaries, no concordances. They owned a Bible. If they could get Scofield's edition, they had an entire theological education built into the margins. Within a single generation, the pastor class of American evangelicalism couldn't distinguish inspired scripture from Darby's notes inserted alongside it. Hall then lands the most pointed historical observation of the episode: the Oxford institution that printed Scofield's Bible also published the Balfour Declaration within approximately one year. These were, he implies, practically the same people, pursuing the same political goal. [1] — J.D. Hall "C.I. Scofield was a relative nobody who somehow had his passage paid to Oxford, where he produced the first built-in study Bible in history…" 33:45 [2] — J.D. Hall "Balfour Declaration and Scofield Bible same institution within one year: The same Oxford institution that published the Scofield Bible also…" 41:30
C.I. Scofield was a relative nobody who somehow had his passage paid to Oxford, where he produced the first built-in study Bible in history. Low-church evangelical pastors who owned nothing but a Bible couldn't distinguish inspired scripture from Darby's marginal notes — and within a generation, dispensationalism became the assumed theology of American evangelicalism. The same Oxford institution published the Balfour Declaration within a year.
Charles Spurgeon, the renowned 19th-century Baptist preacher, explicitly rejected dispensationalism as novel theology, citing the principle that 'what is new is not true.'
C.I. Scofield's annotated Bible, published in 1907 through Oxford, spread dispensationalist theology through American low-church evangelicalism by embedding theological notes directly in the margins.
