In this article, we propose an approach of two works of Nicholas of Cusa written in the year 1453: De pace fidei and De visione Dei. First, is conceptualized its theatral dimension from the devices convocated in each of this two texts. Such devices show how the dialogical dimension, if it is the exposition form in some works of Nicolas of Cusa, it’s also present in texts that do not have the dialogue form. Second, we call the attention to the philosophy and theology of word and language implicitly or explicitly developed in these two works.

Although Ramon Llull has a knowledge of Islam, different factors impossibilities the success of the mission. Some factors were interiors of Christianity and another were different causes: the difficulty of the subject he chose, the psychological restraints, the opposition of Islamic public power, the scarce predisposition to dialogue of Muslim people and, finally, the impossibility to impose a religion without using force.
