Mentored by James H. Brookes, a dispensationalist, Cyrus Ingerson Scofield not only followed in his footsteps, but created a foundation for his own interpretation of dispensationalism. That interpretation along with his commentary on various Scripture passages came to be known as Scofield's notes, which were placed within the pages of the King James Version of the Bible. Titled Scofield's Study Bible (previously Scofield's Reference Bible), it became a best-selling Bible in a relatively short period and continues to hold a solid standing as one of the favorite Bibles to be purchased. The escalation of prophecy news, sales in movies and books with that same message, and the steadfast loyalty to the rapture and tribulation theory are largely due to Scofield's notes.

To keep it short and sweet, the author focuses on breaking down the Scripture passages in the books of Daniel and Revelation-two of the books alleged by Scofield and his followers to contain eschatological prophecies yet unfulfilled. It will be clearly shown how easily one can be confused by the seemingly logical explanations Scofield provides, why his interpretation of Scripture is so dangerous, and why it is important to study for oneself.
