Observations on the Conversion and Apostleship of St. Paul (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162615028)

""Observations on the Conversion and Apostleship of St. Paul"" is a book written by George Lyttleton, a British politician and writer, in 1747. The book explores the life of St. Paul, one of the most important figures in the early Christian church, and his dramatic conversion from a persecutor of Christians to a devoted follower of Jesus Christ. Lyttleton uses historical evidence, biblical texts, and philosophical arguments to support his thesis that St. Paul's conversion was a genuine and profound experience, rather than a fabrication or a hallucination. He also examines the impact of St. Paul's teachings and writings on the development of Christianity and the early church.The book is considered a classic work of Christian apologetics and has been influential in shaping the understanding of St. Paul's life and legacy. It is a valuable resource for scholars, theologians, and anyone interested in the history of Christianity.1785. Mr. Lyttleton's observations on the conversion and Apostleship of St. Paul are found in a letter to Gilbert West. In a late conversation Lyttleton and West has together upon the subject of the Christian religion, Lyttleton told West that besides all the proofs of it which may be drawn from the prophecies of the Old Testament, from the necessary connection it has with the whole system of the Jewish religion, from the miracles of Christ, and from the evidence given of his resurrection and the Apostleship of St. Paul, the author thought the conversion and the Apostleship of St. Paul alone was of itself a demonstration sufficient to prove Christianity to be a divine revelation.
