Oswald T. Allis, Ph.D. (1880-1973) received his doctorate from the University of Berlin, and received an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree from Hampden Sydney College in 1927. He taught in the Department of Semitic Philology at Princeton Theological Seminary (1910-1929). In 1929 Allis, J. Gresham Machen, Robert Dick Wilson and others founded Westminster Theological Seminary. [1] Dr. Allis was independently wealthy and it was his property in Philadelphia which initially served as the home of the new seminary. [2] He taught at Westminster for six years, and resigned in 1935 to devote himself to writing and study. [3] Two of his more notable works are Prophecy and the Church (1945) and God Spake By Moses (1951). Dr. Oswald was a conservative Christian theologian who believed in the Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch. [4]

Dr. Allis's view of the Bible could best be summed up in this quotation describing Robert Dick Wilson's approach to the study of the Bible:

Build solidly. Prepare thoroughly. Never be satisfied with superficial answers. God’s Word can stand the most thorough investigation. Do not shirk the difficult problems but seek to bring the facts to light, for God’s Word and God’s world will never contradict one another.
