| description | Prophecy arguments are prominent in the Old and New Testaments. Regrettably, however, their influence has waned recently, in part because of challenges from anti-supernatural and atheistic worldviews. This article argues that prophecy arguments can be made relevant and powerful for contemporary audiences by (1) documenting fulfilled Bible prophecies that meet strict criteria for public evidence, and (2) analyzing prophecy data with a statistical method that accounts not only for luck but also for potential objections about biased data. A strong case for fulfilled Bible prophecy is an asset for Christian theology and witness because of its immediate implications for God's existence, the case for miracles, the authority of Scripture, and human dignity and destiny. |
