| Summary: | By ‘big reason’ is meant reason that can (1) tackle life’s big questions, like whether God exists, and (2) address a big audience of virtually everyone by means of reasons that count across worldviews. The antithesis of big reason is small reason, the contention that any reasons and evidence in favor of a given worldview count only within the small audience of that worldview. Big reason promotes finding the truth, including the truth of Christianity, and thereby it promotes human flourishing. This article defends big reason by presenting a model of public reason and then applying this model to the evidence for Christianity from fulfilled Bible prophecies. |
