My first study Bible, the Scofield Reference Bible, was a favorite of mine. I loved it as it went along well with the teachings I was receiving at Scottsdale Bible Church in Scottsdale, Arizona. The pastors there were from Dallas Seminary. The Scofield Study Bible, or the Scofield Reference Bible, was edited by Cyrus I. Scofield (C. I. Scofield), and is the premiere Dispensationalism Study Bible.

Cyrus Ingerson Scofield (August 19, 1843 – July 24, 1921) was an American theologian, minister, and writer whose best-selling annotated Bible popularized futurism and dispensationalism among fundamentalist Christians. I later attended Dallas Theological Seminary and graduated from this theological institution which emphasized dispensationalism. Dallas Theological Seminary is known as the flagship of the dispensational movement. (christianitytoday.com). “Flagship” is “the best or most important product, idea, building, etc. That an organization owns or produces.” -- 
Cambridge English Dictionary

By the way, besides that excellent summary by Mr. Houdmann cited here, another of the best summaries of dispensations is found in the doctrinal statement of Dallas Theological Seminary. --Dr. John F. Walvoord, long-time president of Dallas Theological Seminary.
