Literary dialogues can be counted amongst one of the most important genres for the discourse of irenicism. In this essay, I focus on the writings of three authors of tolerant dialogues from the early period of the Bohemian Reformation (1436–1516): Dialogus by Jan of Rabštejn, the Bolognian Dispute by Václav Písecký, and two dialogues by Mikuláš Konáč of Hodíškov. The dialogues present a wide range of motives, ideas, and influences. The abhorrence of forceful conversion is probably the most important element of the tolerant dialogues. But there are other common links between the authors, especially their endeavor for the common good, emphasis on the natural reason and law, and the notion of the faith as the “free gift of God.”
