Dr. Lewis Sperry Chafer, Th.D.
1871-1952

Lewis Sperry Chafer D.D., Litt.D., Th.D., was ordained in 1900 and was a traveling evangelist until 1914. He aided C. I. Scofield in establishing the Philadelphia School of the Bible in 1913. He taught the Bible at the Philadelphia School of the Bible from 1914 - 1924.

When Scofield died in 1921, Chafer moved to Dallas, Texas to pastor the First Congregational Church of Dallas where Scofield had ministered. Then, in 1924, Chafer and his friend William Henry Griffith Thomas realized their vision of a simple, Bible-teaching theological seminary and founded Dallas Theological Seminary (originally Evangelical Theological College). Chafer served as president of the seminary and professor of Systematic Theology from 1924 until his death. He died with friends while away at a conference in Seattle, Washington in August 1952.
