Racist in Scofield Reference- Southern Confederate View
Egotistically drenched in southern heritage,
C.I. Scofield built a scholarly reputation by promoting an anti-black, anti-Catholic, pro-Jewish
theology.
Telling more than a few war stories, Dr. Scofield perpetuated the commonly held
Plantation Myth that slave owners cared for an inferior race of people out of love. In the Life
Story, Dr. Scofield described slavery as a “kind, patriarchal form” where “masters and mistresses
loved one another.”
694 As if he had personal knowledge, Scofield said he recalled, “more than
one Southern family mortgaged its land in order to continue to take care of its free but needy
slaves.”695
Rev. Scofield likely acquired his patriarchal view of blacks during his years in
Dallas, Texas where the idea flourished among elite whites.696 This paternalistic view of society
was fundamental to the Lost Cause vision of the south and Scofield canonized the idea in The
Scofield Reference Bible.
697
With a view towards African Americans, Scofield explained in his
reference Bible note on Genesis 9:25 that the “prophetic declaration is made that from Ham will
descend an inferior and servile posterity.”698
In the twentieth century United States, the inferior
and servile race usually referred to African Americans.
Dr. Scofield’s use of southern rhetoric on race begs the question of whether he relied
more on the Confederate tradition or Oxford theologians to edit some his Bible notes.699
While
the view that the Bible somehow sanctioned black inequality did not originate with Cyrus
Scofield, he did marry the idea to his prophetic interpretations by pointing towards black
servanthood as the will of God in his Bible annotations. I
related similar notions towards African Americans to Charles Trumbull who included the story
as a “Confederate reminiscence which appeals to Scofield’s sense of humor.”700
The story Dr.
Scofield told involved a formal dinner that both he and Senator Roscoe Conkling attended during
the Reconstruction years. Senator Conkling arrived late to the dinner after some political
haranguing with Senator Charles Sumner from Massachusetts. In explaining his late arrival,
Senator Conkling declared, “the senior Senator from Massachusetts [Sumner] has just been
making his annual attempt to enact a law to abolish the distinction made by God Almighty
between black and white.”701
By characterizing the story as a Confederate recollection, Dr.
Scofield left open the notion that he viewed Reconstruction as a futile endeavor since he seemed
to believe the separation of the races was divinely ordained.

History must read… perfect outline
son to introduce the millennial age, when Israel shall be restored to their own land,
and the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord; and that this personal
and premillennial advent is the blessed hope set before us in the Gospel for
which we should be constantly looking: Luke 12:35-40; 17:26-30; 18:8;
Acts 15:14-17; 2 Thess. 2:3-8; 2 Tim. 3:1-5; Tit. 2:11-15.62
