Ramon Llull, a bridge among Christian, Jewish and Islamic cultures Authors Fernando Dom?nguez Reboiras Raimundus-Lullus-Institut Freiburg, Germany Keywords: Ramon Llull (1232–1315/16), Christianity, Islamism, Judaism, religious books Abstract Disputes among Muslims, Jews and Christians were very frequent during the Middle Ages. Each religion wanted to predominate in the world and was self-proclaimed as the owner of the truth. Is in this difficult environment that the figure of Ramon Llull emerges as the first one trying to solve those conflicts without the use of the force, but by means of the reason. Of course, the mission was very difficult due to the historical radicalization of the three main religions, those religions called “the religions of the book” because their faith is based on the truth revealed by God and written in the holy book (Bible, Koran or Torah). Llull was convinced clearly explaining and demonstrating the reason below faith, people of the three religions could reach a mutual understanding and acceptance.
