It appears that Logos doesn’t sell the New Scofield Study Bible. Reading about the popularity of the study Bible, this is a bit surprising.
Only the older edition:
The Scofield Reference Bible
Although the reviewer (Williams) has some comments (scroll down).
Can you find it being sold? E version? Print new?
There's a largely historical reason for the older work. Logos should offer the newer one simply for the sake of those who like it. Being an Oxford work, it won't be cheap.
My take is Logos does have a whole lot of good study Bibles. If you have a decent library you can get a good study Bible for practically nothing in one of the smaller packages. I just picked one up in a reformed package along with some other books for less than a meal at McDonalds.

yes, but back to my questions... [:P]
I can't find this source being sold as "new" or in any e-book format. I don't know how popular it is if it is out of print! There are plenty of "new" study bibles out there with Scofield notes... but the OLD ones.
(I know I had one in college... it should be around somewhere!)
Hi JT.
While I was at Camp Logos this week I found a Christian Book store near my hotel. I went there to browse and saw Scofield bibles, both the older version (labeled as Old Scofield) as well as the newer edition (version 3 I think) for sale there. So yea, they are still in print. They had KJV, NKJV, and NIV versions.
They're also available on Amazon and CBD as Scofield Study Bible III.

I could be wrong, but I don't think that is the "new scofield." Rather, it is a NEW version of the OLD scofield. In the link below, the resource states this: "The new edition includes a host of useful features that are sure to enhance the augmentation (not revision) of this renowned one-volume resource..." The diehard Scofield users don't want the revisions (i.e. the "NEW Scofield").
There was quite a bit of controversy surrounding the "new Scofield" because the theology representend in the notes had changed.

EDIT: I have read some more and still don't know. I can't tell if Scofield III is based upon the "new" one or not. A wikipedia page said that the original one is still the one predominantly sold in the UK and abroad. On a side note, I found this gem from 1967. See the last paragraph: LINK: https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/1967/april-14/changes-in-scofield-reference-bible.html
I think the 1967 version is what's in the New Scofield and subsequent versions which are likely a repackage. The New Scofield was issued with a slightly modified version of the KJV along with the newer notes. Back when I was a newbie, John MacArthur was preaching from this version, so I have one on my shelf. I would open it when I listened to broadcasts from Grace To You.
The New Scofield Reference Bible is "a thorough revision [of the Old Scofield Study Bible] by a dedicated committee of evangelical scholars." The Scofield Study Bible III "contains the New Scofield notes augmented with timelines, maps, and charts."
This is taken from the box back cover of the Scofield Study Bible III.

Olive Tree sells the new version, i think.
