Łabuda, Piotr (Wydział Teologiczny w Tarnowie, 2008)
During Paul's journey to Damascus the event, which was a turning point in Christ's persecutor's life, happened. This event is reported by Luke as well as the Apostle himself (see Dz 9,1-30; Ga 1,15-24). While the Apostle's conversion is reported with sufpcient accuracy the following events are a kind of mystery. Paul's visit in Arabia, which is mentioned only by the Apostle himself, as well as the circumstances of his escape from Damascus to Jerusalem are particularly mysterious (see Ga 1,17; Acts 9,23n.; Kor 11,32-33). The time of the Apostle's conversion and the following events can be established on the basis of the New Testament texts analysis as well as some historical data.
