Just wanted to do a preliminary check to see if anyone knew of any existing papers/studies. Thanks! |
I am not aware of anything. Not to put you off but I think that it would be a paper that would be quite difficult to do well. I own copies of both and certainly would not fancy the prospect.
A tip if I may, find some verses that both Scofield and Geneva comment on wherein the comments demonstrate their key differences in hermenutical methods. Most of Scofield's notes are of an eschatological nature which I am sure you are aware.
One that springs immediately to mind is the difference between the Geneva view of sanctification and Scofield's view of the 'carnal' Christian.
