JBL 10013 (]981) 415-432 PAUL'S conversion / call : A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE three REPORTS IN ACTS CHARLES W. HEDRICK SOUTHWEST MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY. SPRINGFIELD. MO 65802 JOHANNES Munck has described the three accounts of PAUL'S "con-version" in Acts (9:1-19; 22:4-16 [with 22:17-211; 26:12-18) as call /commissioning narratives modeled on the order of OT prophetic call /commissioning narratives.! He argues that, in spite of obvious differences that most modern scholars recognize among the reports,2 when "we approach what is essential in the account [of PAUL'S conver-sion] , namely its nature and meaning, the greater becomes the agreement."3 For Munck, the similarity in motif among all three allows one to argue that "the accounts in Acts go back to Paul, as. they show a close connexion with Galatians."4 The similarity that Munck notes among the three passages in Acts, he also finds in PAUL'S own statement .in Gal 1: 15, namely that they understand PAUL'S experience in terms of the calls of Isaiah and Jeremiah.
