Who was Cyrus I. Scofield — and how did a failed lawyer and convicted fraudster end up publishing the Scofield Reference Bible, one of the most influential Bibles in American evangelical Christianity?
In this video, we investigate the suspicious life of Cyrus Scofield, uncovering the shady connections, hidden funding, and secret elite networks that helped him shape modern dispensationalism and Zionist prophecy beliefs.
You’ll learn about Scofield’s ties to powerful figures like John J. Ingalls, the Papin-Chouteau family, and even controversial Zionist backers like Samuel Untermeyer. We’ll break down the history of the Scofield Bible, its mysterious publication by Oxford University Press, and its impact on how millions of Christians came to support the modern state of Israel as a fulfillment of biblical prophecy.
If you’ve ever wondered who funded the Scofield Bible, why Cyrus Scofield’s life seemed to be protected by powerful patrons, or how Christian Zionism became mainstream in American churches — this video lays out the story.
🔍 Follow the money, trace the hidden connections, and see why the truth behind Scofield’s Bible is stranger than you might think.
