Publisher's Description
A thirteenth-century priest in the Iberian Peninsula reaches out to Muslims and Jews in order to convert them to Christianity. This was a time of great conflict between the Abrahamic faiths, so any communication between adherents was usually difficult and sometimes hostile. Ramon Llull believed this theological gap could be overcome through logic and Scripture.

“This is an engaging missionary biography, but it is more than a biography. It is an exhortation to us to render every aspect of our lives completely to God. Gomez weaves a story of Ramon Llull, an extraordinary thirteenth-century missionary, which challenges us to be missionaries of great vision, profound theological commitments, and effective strategies and training. Ramon Llull’s life will inspire you.”
“Numa Gomez’ work on Ramon Llull brings to light an important moment in the history of Christian thought. One cannot help but be encouraged by the testimony of this pre-Reformation reformer who sought positive and rational engagement with those who did not follow the teachings of Jesus, along with reform and deeper discipleship of those who did claim to follow Jesus.”
