It is often referred to in short as simply The Scofield Bible, which is actually a reference Bible containing the entire text of the King James Version along with commentary on the biblical text and a scripture cross-reference. The first Scofield Reference Bible was published in 1909 and was revised by the author in 1917. Dr. Cyrus I. Scofield passed away in 1921 and since another Bible reference was released in 1967 under teh Scofield name, which is not a true "Scofield Bible."

Dr. Cyrus I. Scofield was a Dispensationalist, believing in a quite literal meaning to the text of the bible. Consideration of the literal meaning is in contract to those that try to interpret the bible into metaphoric meanings rather than the literal word of God.
