Arno and King James
The Man Behind Scofield
 
And  if  any man  shall  take  away  from  the  words  of  the book of this
prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life. Rev. 22:19


The Scofield Reference Bible  was published in 1909. At that time, Oxford
University  Press   invited   Arno  to  participate  in  another  project. He
mentions this in his auto-biography:
 
  
   "The Oxford University Press sent me on November 6, 1909, an invitation to serve
   on a committee of scholars to go over the King James version to change obsolete
   phrases and make other changes which were absolutely necessary, disturbing as
   little as possible  the authorized text.  (He lists  the others on the committee) The
   1911 commemorative  edition was  published by the  Oxford University Press, but
   for some reason it never became popular." [25]

 
This shows that Arno was  in  a  direct  working   relationship with Oxford
University  Press.  Blocked  in  this  early  attempt  to rewrite   the  Bible, 
Oxford Press apparently invited Arno to devote the next decade of his life
to  writing  a  new  set  of  commentaries on  the Bible. See the listing of
books he wrote between 1909 and 1924.
 
In 1959, on the 50th  anniversary  of the  Scofield Bible Oxford University
Press asked Frank to write a history of the Scofield Bible which appeared 
in a small booklet. [26]  At about this time Frank  joined eight  committee
members to write the New Scofield Reference Bible (1967). A  busy  man,
he  headed  the  style  committee  which  took  the original Scofield Bible
written  in KJV  and  replaced it with the New International Version which
was a drastic change to the Authorized Version.

When it was complete,  Oxford Press  asked him to write a brochure that
advertised it. And he presided over the large dinner held in Chicago when
the revision was launched. [27]  Thus  Frank finished what his father had
begun. And father and son had  for 80 years  worked under  the direction
of a hidden hand in England.

Oxford   University   Press  had  a  Fabian  socialist   bent.  The  Fabians 
believed in slow and steady change. From  the time of Westcott until the 
publication of  the new Scofield Bible there  was a continuity of  purpose
that spanned  three   generations. The  Fabian  patiently  created a new
interpretation  of   bible  prophecy,   a   new  bible   and   a  new  set of
commentaries. These  replaced   the  Victorian  standards of  historicism,
the KJV and  Matthew Henry's commentary. Judge the tree by its fruits.
 
But  new  bibles,  new   commentaries and  a new  interpretation  of bible
prophecy  were   nothing   without  believers.  Ministers  were  needed to
teach  the new religion to the target audience in the bible belt.
