In this episode of the Sound Words Podcast, Dr. Dave Burggraff—Professor of Historical and Systematic Theology at Shepherds Theological Seminary—joins us to discuss the life and legacy of Cyrus Ingerson Scofield. Best known for the Scofield Reference Bible, Scofield played a key role in shaping dispensational thought in the 20th century.

Dr. Burggraff walks us through Scofield’s spiritual journey, his pastoral and theological work, and the lasting influence of his ministry. We also explore common criticisms of dispensationalism, lesser-known insights into Scofield’s life, and what his legacy means for today’s pastors and students.
