Contradictions in the Apostle Paul’s Conversion Stories
Which author got it wrong?
In one of my previous articles about Paul, I touched on the fact that there are seeming contradictions between the two accounts of his conversion to Christianity, but in that article, I didn’t really do a full deep dive.
We have two different accounts to look at, one written by Paul in Galatians and the other in Acts written by Luke. Paul wrote his account to his newly founded churches, which had decided to cast away his gospel version in favor of the gospel being spread by Peter and James. So Paul took it upon himself to try to convince them to come back to his version of Christianity.
So come with me as we take a look at each version and see if you think they can be reconciled or not.
