Summary: The best Scofield ever!
Review: Have just purchased this new edition to the classic scofield and am very impressed and satisfied with it.
You don't have to be a dispensationalist(which I'm only marginal) to benefit from this great study bible. Every area has been improved for greater ease in studying particular topics and seeing the scriptures as one whole panoramic view of God's salvific dealings with man.
The format is great and print type has excellent readability as well as quality binding(have genuine leather)from Oxford Press.
Have older scofield and this one wins hands down. Slightly larger than former one(as more study notes) but hardly clumsy as some study bibles are.
Consider myself Historic Premillenial rather than dispensational , especially in regards to pre-trib rapture and totally distinct plans for true Israel and true Church, but non-the-less has has many qualities that all believers can benefit from.
The story behind the Scofield Bible is fascinating as well(though not included with bible), would loved to have been around for those classic prophetic conferences in the latter part of the 19th century at those fascinating locations!

Summary: The Best Scofield Ever
Review: Long overdue, the NKJV Scofield has arrived, and, in my opinion, is the best Scofield yet. Loaded with in-text maps, charts, and addenda, it is an extremely valuable Study Bible. To me, it somewhat thankfully downplays Scofield(I am NOT a dispensationalist)and has put in a lot of general helps that former Scofields lacked. The Leather bound editions are well made by Oxford, and are Smyth-sewn, which is hard to find in these days of mass production and glue-bound (cheap) Bibles. The NKJV text is translated from the same manuscripts as the KJV (despite what anyone erroneously says), and in many, many places is a better translation than the old KJV. The ONLY argument anyone can have with this Bible is that it is not the "old" King James. No other argument is valid.
