Best Answer

Acts of the Apostles is quite clear that Paul's conversion was in fact quite sudden, resulting from a miraculous experience, in which he was blinded.

Paul's own epistles never mention the blinding light of Acts and suggest that his conversion came about via a developing realisation that God "was pleased to reveal his Son in (or by means of) me." Had this passage said that God "was pleased to reveal his Son to me," there would still be a case for a dramatic conversion experience, but Burton L. Mack (Who Wrote the New Testament) says that the Greek words translate as the former, indicating a gradual realisation by Paul of his mission.
