The Crusade of Ramon Llull: Evangelism and Apologetics in the Thirteenth Century
Ebook
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.”
—Mark McClellan, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary
“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.”
—Chip Lamca, Grand Canyon University
