Featured Bibles with Old Scofield 1917 Notes

I want to buy a new Bible. I used to have a list of publishers that published study Bibles with the Scofield 1917 Notes, but I have misplaced it. I am looking for the largest text possible. Can we start a list of publishers?

I know the dates are controversial, but I have not found another dating system that as a WHOLE is better. The dates at the top of the pages ground me.

The headings break up the text. The only Bible that made it across the country with me, is my McGee Thru the Bible, and all the notes are in outlines at the front and the outlines don't pop. Flipping back and forth is not working for me. I feel lost in the text.

The text in my Scofield was too small, but still it was sometimes the one I took to bed with me. I need one with larger text.

 

The Scofield that I had was the regular text Oxford University Press.

 

That might be enough to get me by!

I'm not seeing a Scofield with the combination of text-size, price, and availability I need.

 

I think what I am going to do is buy 3 packages of the rainbow tabbies, and use two packages to mark the outlines and Bible text, and a third package to mark a resource book.

If you have to pick ONE resource book to supplement and complement Thru the Bible, what would it be? Out-of-print is fine, as long as it is a title that is possible to find used.

 

Sometimes these outlines are so poorly formatted, but I have spent a couple hours problem-solving. I just need to pencil the start of the chapters into the margins, and gradually add the Scofield dates (from an ebook) under the chapter numbers, as I get a chance.

I just bought 3 packs of Rainbow tabs. I have a 1965 Halley's that I am going to divide with the 3rd set of Tabs. With the tabs, I should be able to access the outlines and use the handbook more easily.

I think I am going to like this even better than a new Bible. I will be able to keep the Bible text nice and clean, but still have quick access to the notes I need.

Thanks!

 

One of the reasons I got this older Halley's was it had more dates that newer editions. I am looking through it more thoroughly: there are more dates tucked into it than I realized, but I have to look for them.

I strongly believe that the Lord provides what we need most for the moment, and that lack of access to something else is often to force us to look more closely at what is right in our face.

I am going to spend some time with just my McGee Bible and my Halley's and see how far I get with that. Halley and Scofield conflict, but I have Halley, so I am going to run with it, for better and for worse.

 

Their Bibles are beautiful. They have been out of stock of their largest text Scofield for awhile. I am going to wait and see if they reprint it in the future and will sit tight for now.

 

If I had to buy a Bible from what is available today, I would get the Oxford Scofield from whoever had it cheapest with free shipping, but I heard these particular ones have a poor binding and that pages are falling out almost immediately.

 

You are making me weaken. LOL.

I'm going to sit tight until after Christmas, though.

 

Dr. Bob, did your college use this Bible or did you just choose this one?

 

Where can I learn more about this? When anyone had discussed this issue, I have always been pointed to Cambridge.

 

If anyone else is price shopping for Oxford Scofield Large Print.
