Summary

The Damascus road encounter between Jesus and Paul is foundation to understanding the early development of Christology, and, indeed, and Christianity, since it is the first appearance of the post-ascension Jesus contained in the earliest Christian literature. This study examines the encounter as it is described in Paul's epistles and the book of Acts.
