The Ultimate Three Minutes is a statement of Christian theology in
terms of "Salvation History", introducing the functions of Abraham,
Moses, Second Isaiah and the Psalms; and placing in historical
context the life, crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ his
uniqueness, the formation of the Gospels, and the Eucharist as the
identifying thread which binds the redemptive or salvation process
into a coherent whole and vivifies the Christian hope. This
presentation of basic Christian Gospel theology is carried within a
simplistic account of the history of the Ancient World, written in
the style of a continuous narrative, with digressions into special
topics such as the Psalms, Augustus and Providence, the Sixth
Chapter of St John's Gospel, and the Northern Frontier. It also
features a parable drawn from modern science. The title of the book
borrows from two distinguished scientists. In The First Three
Minutes 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. In The Last Three Minutes Paul Davies
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 Saviour, 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.
