American Bible teacher and editor of the Scofield Reference Bible, influential in popularising dispensational study notes.
In his own words
Abraham and Lot are contrasted characters. Of the same stock (Gen. 11. 31), subjected to the same environment, and both justified men (Gen. 15. 6; Pet. 2. 7. 8), the contrast in character and career is shown to be the result of their respective choices at the crisis of their lives. Lot "chose him all the plain of Jordan" for present advantage; Abraham "looked for a city which hath foundations" (Heb. 11. 10), and (Gen. 13. 18) "came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre (fatness), which is in Hebron" (communion). The men remain types of the worldly and the spiritual believer.
