Paul's Conversion and Luke's Portrayal of Character in Acts 8-10

Paul's Conversion and Luke's Portrayal of Character in Acts 8-10

  • Semi-Technical
  • Philip H. Kern

The background to this article is the view sometimes still promoted that Paul was not converted, and that the Damascus Road experience was only a call to ministry. However, the way Luke portrays Paul in Acts 8-Acts 10 shows Saul to lack a right relationship with God. Luke accomplish this picture in part by contrasting the pre-conversion Saul with Stephen, the Ethiopian eunuch, and Cornelius. One of the main ways that Luke demonstrates Saul’s changed relationship with God is Paul's new relationship with the church or followers of Christ.
