"It is reasonable to believe that the evidence which convinced such a man (St. Paul) of
the outandout wrongness of his former course, and led him so decisively to
abandon previously cherished beliefs for a movement which he had so vigorously
opposed, must have been of a singularly impressive quality. The conversion of
Paul has for long been regarded as a weighty evidence for the truth of
Christianity. Many have endorsed the conclusion of the eighteenth century
statesman George, Lord Lyttelton, that 'the conversion and apostleship of St.
Paul alone, duly considered, was of itself a demonstration sufficient to prove
Christianity to be a divine revelation.'"
