Oswald Thompson Allis (September 9, 1880 – January 12, 1973) was an American Presbyterian theologian and Bible scholar born in Wallingford, Pennsylvania, who studied at the University of Pennsylvania, Princeton Theological Seminary, and the University of Berlin before earning an honorary Doctor of Divinity in 1927. He taught Semitic philology at Princeton Theological Seminary from 1910 to 1929 and, with J. Gresham Machen and others, helped found Westminster Theological Seminary, where he served on the original faculty; after resigning in 1935 he devoted himself to writing and study. Allis was a leading conservative voice defending traditional views on Old Testament authorship and Scripture’s unity through works such as Prophecy and the Church and God Spake by Moses and by editing The Princeton Theological Review.
