The title of this book borrows from two distinguished scientists: Steven Weinberg describes the developments of the first three minutes of the universe following the explosion of the “Big Bang” 13.8 billion years ago; Paul Davis describes the final subsidence of the universe into entropy and heat death. The Ultimate Three Minutes: The Story of Two Great Human Watersheds—Their Preparation and Their Coinciding provides a humanitarian parallel. The title embodies a value judgement, namely the need of the human race for redemption, and the achievement of that redemption by Jesus Christ, the Anointed Savior, on his Cross. The “Ultimate Three Minutes” is the final three minutes before Jesus Christ expelled his final breath, when the suffering and the cost of the redemption of mankind was at its most heavy and precarious.
