Ramon Llull worked for a better world or, at least, for a better sense of life of the Mediterranean countries. Ramon Llull (about 1239 to 1316) was born in Majorca. He lived in a peaceful society in which moslems, jews and christians was realted and lived together.
The base of his missionary impulse was to deepen with people from other cultures and religions.
He was the precursor of ecumenism, the peaceful coexistence among religions, and he suggested reason, understood as universal and common to the humankind, as a method to convince others of the goodness of their own faith. In his books he synthesizes a Christian speech with Muslim elements (such as Al-Ghazali’s application of logic) and Hebrews (such as the use of letters for the representation of ideas, typical of the Kabala). For the Christianism of that era, his thinking, always free and independent, collects elements from the Dominican (rational tendencies) and the Franciscan (spirituality) schools.
Ramon Llull loved and believed in Christ. That’s why he had conversations with others who did not think or believe like him, offering the best of himself.
In the picture, a Illuminated manuscript, we see him discussing with a doctor of Islam because he wanted to convince jews and muslims with WORDS, in PEACE.
