Dispensationalism

=== Scofield and his influence ===
[[File:ScofieldCI.jpg|thumb|Cyrus Scofield]]
A disciple of James Brookes, Cyrus Scofield, began attending the Niagara conferences and became an advocate of premillennialism, specifically pre-tribulationism.<ref name=":6" />{{Rp|page=223}} After several years of work, in 1909, Scofield introduced dispensationalism to a wider audience in America by his ''[[Scofield Reference Bible]]''. The publication of the ''Scofield Reference Bible'' during 1909 by the [[Oxford University Press]] for the first time displayed overtly dispensationalist notes on the pages of the biblical text. The Scofield Bible became a popular Bible used by independent Evangelicals in the United States.<ref name=":6" />{{Rp|pages=222–224}} The premillennialism of the ''Scofield Reference Bible'' led to a pessimistic social view within evangelicalism, to "not polish the brass rails on the sinking social ship", focusing the evangelism of saving the lost rather than expanding Christendom.<ref name=":13" />{{Rp|page=5}}

The ''Scofield Reference Bible'' came out at the apex of Bullinger's influence. Scofield's Bible confronted some of the ultradispensationalists' (Bullingerites) positions, specifically, the divisions of dispensational time, and as the Scofield Bible became popular among dispensationalists, it marginalized the hyperdispensationalist position in the United States.<ref name=":20" />

Having been influenced by Scofield, evangelist and Bible teacher [[Lewis Sperry Chafer]] (1871–1952) along with his brother, Rollin Chafer, founded Evangelical Theological College in 1924. The school would eventually become the [[Dallas Theological Seminary]], which has become the main institution of dispensationalism in America.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Reisinger |first=Ernest |author-link=Ernest Reisinger |title=A History of Dispensationalism in America |url=http://www.founders.org/FJ09/article1.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080517112638/http://www.founders.org/FJ09/article1.html |archive-date=2008-05-17 |access-date=2023-07-05 |website=[[Founders Ministries]] |quote="Bible-believing people turned to Dallas Seminary, the mecca of Dispensationalism, for teaching on God's Word."}}</ref> The Baptist Bible Seminary in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania became another dispensational school.
