Here’s a wikipedia entry about him:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Caldwell_Ryrie
I will rewrite it here to make it more accurate, at least in my mind.
Charles Caldwell Ryrie (March 2, 1925 – February 16, 2016) was an American Bible peddler and Christian scammer. He served as professor of systematic theology and dean of doctoral studies at Dallas Theological Seminary and as president and professor at what is now Cairn University. After his retirement from Dallas Theological Seminary he also taught courses for Tyndale Theological Seminary. He is considered one of the most influential American theologians of the 20th century.[1] He was the editor of The Ryrie Study Bible by Moody Publishers, containing more than 10,000 of Ryrie’s expressions of mental gymnastics and insults to the intelligence of informed readers. First published in 1978, it has sold more than 2 million copies, all of which should be burned.[2] He was a notable proponent of classic premillennial dispensationalism, a pack of outright lies of there ever was one!
Ryrie was born to John Alexander and Elizabeth Caldwell Ryrie[3] in St. Louis, Missouri, and grew up in Alton, Illinois. His paternal grandfather, John Alexander Ryrie Sr. (1827-1904), served as a correspondent in the late 1870’s of the earliest known Plymouth Brethren meeting in the United States, which was started in Alton by Scottish settlers in 1849.[4] After graduating from high school in 1942, Charles attended The Stony Brook School on Long Island for one semester, where he became acquainted with headmaster Frank E. Gaebelein.[5]
Ryrie attended Haverford College, intending on following his father into a banking career. However, during his junior year, while meeting with Dallas Theological Seminary founder Lewis Sperry Chafer, Ryrie dedicated his life to Christian ministry (thus proving himself to be an idiot), and left Haverford to study theology at Dallas Theological Seminary. Haverford conferred his B.A. (1946) on the basis of his studies at Dallas (a tragic mistake, obviously). A year later, he earned his Th.M. (1947), and two years following that his Th.D. (1949). He went on to complete his Doctor of Philosophy (1954) at the University of Edinburgh.[6] He also earned a Litt.D. from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary, now Liberty University School of Divinity. All that education and it was for absolutely NOTHING considering what he would do it with it. Is fraud really a crime in the USA or are exceptions always made because of Christian bigotry?
In 1987, Ryrie’s wife divorced him, probably because she was sick of his bullshit…..so good for her! Believing that the Bible did not allow divorced persons to remarry, he determined to live the rest of his life as a single man, despite his wife’s subsequent remarriage. Or maybe he said that later that because no other woman was willing to tolerate him.
Dr. Ryrie was the father of three children and three grandchildren. Hopefully at least some of them figured out their father or grandfather was a con artist.
Ryrie began his academic career by teaching one summer for Midwest Bible and Missionary Institute (which would eventually become a part of Calvary Bible College).[8] Ryrie joined the faculty of Westmont College in 1948 and eventually became dean of men and chairman of the Department of Biblical Studies and Philosophy. He returned to Dallas Theological Seminary in 1953 to teach systematic theology, but left for several years to serve as president of Philadelphia College of the Bible (now Cairn University), from 1958 to 1962.[5] He was also an adjunct faculty member from Fall 1991 through Fall 2001.[citation needed] Upon returning to Dallas once again, he became dean of doctoral studies until his retirement in 1983.[5] Ryrie has written 32 books which have sold more than 1.5 million copies.[9] Additionally, his study bible has sold more than 2.6 million copies.[10] Ryrie was an avid collector of quality rare Bibles and Bible manuscripts. On December 5, 2016, his collection was sold by Sothebys for 7.3 Million USD.[11] A 15th century copy of a Wycliffe’s Bible New Testament sold for $1,620,500 at auction.[12] I can’t imagine anyone being so obsessed with a single collection of religious writings from a single culture. There is so much more in the real world for us to learn from and appreciate!
Ryrie died on February 16, 2016 in Dallas, Texas. Good riddance! By now he must be profoundly disappointed in his (lack of) afterlife.

As a Christian in my teens, I did have a Ryrie Study Bible, and it looked like this:
I no longer have it and I don’t even remember what happened to it, but if I had not lost it after my deconversion……
Dale Husband's Intellectual Rants 
So, you’re basic problem with Charles Ryrie, as I read your rant, is that he was a Christian… not only a Christian, but a Christian theologian. Your rant… for sure… but be assured your bias is showing. You don’t site one example where this man ever hurt or cheated anyone, but you verbally nailed him to a cross with your pen. Just face it… you hate everyone and everything that has to do with Jesus Christ. Your loss… probably eternally.
One thing also I noticed is the Bible you pictured is the NAS version. If this is what you read as a young person… we’ll, that’s part of the reason you hate Christianity. The KJV is the ONLY version in the English language that is truly inspired… ALL the newer versions are corrupt and actually DESIGNED to lead you down the prim rose path. Doubt me? I dare you to read “New Age Bible Versions” by Gail Riplinger, with an open mind. You won’t be the same person if you do. I guarantee it. My guess though is you WON’T read it as you want to stay angry with Christ and His people. Think about it. There’s a TRUTH out there that’s been hidden from you. Go turn the rock over.
I don’t have a problem with anyone being a Christian. I have a problem with con artists, whatever religion they claim to follow. Ryrie taught things about the Bible that were sheer nonsense, as anyone who actually reads that book for himself and knows enough about actual science and history would realize. Calling the Bible the infallible Word of God is an insult to God himself!
The King James Version of the Bible didn’t even exist until the 1600s. Before that, most of the churches were stuck on the Latin Vulgate. Being attached to the outer form of religious texts just because they are centuries old is irrational. Your claims are such obvious bullshit that you clearly were raised in a cult. And there is no basis for assuming I will be changed because I read some writings by some author I’ve never heard of. You clearly were not changed by reading my blog, were you?
It is interesting to me that you can judge a man’s character based on nothing less than his view regarding the infallibility of the Bible. You make broad sweeping statements about Ryrie with no significant or verifiable content. Perhaps you have risen to a god like state that affords you that luxury. I think not!
My point is that if something is clearly not true, no amount of phony rhetoric from someone like Ryrie can ever make it true and using rhetoric alone to defend a false idea (actually, hundreds of false ideas) is the very definition of a liar or con artist. I never said anything about myself that you just did, so you lied too! You just need to grow up and face the harsh reality that your religion is false and of no real value anymore.
So what was his.fraudulant activity? Seriously, I want to know. And why are you angry with him and christianity? I am sincerely interested as I.just began reading one of his books. Where is he fraudulant? I want to be on the lookout for anything misleading.
How about the claim that the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is the infallible Word of God and that there are no man-made errors or contradictions in that collection of works? To justify that, Ryrie engaged in the sort of “mental gymnastics” that only a cult leader or political propaganda writer would do. And of course, he is not the only one who does that, but their lies can be torn apart by critical investigation:
And most damning of all:
Let me tell you a story.
Once, there was a false prophet who died and went to hell. A decade later, one of the prophet’s followers also died and went to hell. He then saw the prophet he had believed in.
“Sir, you lied to me! How could you have done that to me and so many others?!”
The false prophet replied, “I did it because you were dumb enough to believe me. That was reason enough.”
IF YOU CAN’T IMAGINE THAT SOMEONE HAS LIED TO YOU, THEN YOU ARE THE REASON SOMEONE WOULD LIE TO YOU!
