First Century: Conversion of Paul

Hello. There are probably thousands of reliable sources that refer to the conversion of Paul, even if the sources actually cited in the article aren't reliable (because they represent an explicitly religious POV). For one, see Crossan's Birth of Christianity. It's not at all controversial that there was a Paul, who called himself an apostle of Christ Jesus, or that he underwent a conversion sometime in the First Century (though even just from NT evidence I'd be inclined to put it rather later than 33 C.E.). I'd suggest that you restore the event to the article, and insert an in-line template calling for better sources. You could also initiate a discussion on the Talk page, which might attract somebody with better information and better sources. J. D. Crutchfield | Talk 18:31, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
