Paul's Conversion
Assignment 1

Reading:  Acts 7:58 to 9:31 and Acts 21:1 to 25:12

  • Write in your own words a 4-6 page, single spaced report on your experiences as a Jewish companion with Saul on the road to Damascus trip.  Take this journey writing it step by step from Saul's experience with God on the road to his encounter with God and call to the ministry. 
  • What did you observe?  How did it affect you?  Keep in mind that you would have been a persecutor of Christians as well. 
  • Did observing this event change you or were you un-moved? 

How would this event have been perceived by Saul in view of his upbringing, training, experience and viewpoint?  Take into consideration his position in society and how it would have changed his way of thinking after the Damascus experience.  You may use commentaries to round out your scope of understanding.
