Allen affirmed for two nights: "Jesus Christ is the divine Son of God." Wyche affirmed for two nights: "Liberal religion which denies the virgin birth of Christ, his divinity, his resurrection from the dead, and the divine inspiration of the Bible, is the true religion."
The debate was held February 26, 1929 in Lindsley Avenue Church of Christ. F. B. Srigley moderated for Allen; Howard Andrews moderated for Wyche. About 1200 attended each session. The speakers were kind to each other and considerate of the audience. The crowd sided with Bro. Allen which gave him an advantage; but Wyche had very little to lose.
The two men were different in appearance. Dr. Wyche is a brave-looking man who appears doubtful of his ground and disposed to apologize for his positions; while Allen appears meek and timid, anxious to learn, but willing to die for what he believes to be right. Wyche said he believed the Bible and frequently referred to it as the "grand old book." Yet he tried to point out mistakes in it. He cut himself off from an infallible guide.
Bro. Allen was as bold as a lion when he defended its sacred truths. He believes the Bible and makes no apology for it. It is his perfect guide and he stands upon this sure foundation in all his arguments. He took but few positions; these were well chosen and gave him confidence. None of his arguments were overthrown. Only good can come from a discussion of this type.
Bro. Allen was reared in this city and has many friends back of him. He defended the truth humbly but with force. He knows he has an infallible guide - the Bible. "The opposition to all religious controversy under the guise of extreme goodness and great piety will do more to foster and keep alive error on religious subjects than any other one thing which the wicked one could suggest." "Truth can stand the light of investigation"
Note: During the debate the G.A. office looked like a Preacher's Convention.
