How many did Paul convert to Christianity?

Answer 1

A:Acts of the Apostles, written decades after Paul's death, provides a miraculous explanation, with three parallel but different stories in which Jesus appeared to Paul on the road to Damascus. These accounts of Paul's conversion appear to have been based on the ancient play of Euripedes called the Bacchae - in other words, they were not genuine records of Paul's conversion, a view borne out by differences in the three different accounts.

In each account there was a blinding light, which appeared only to Paul in the version at Acts 9:3-8 and probably at Acts 26.13-19, but appeared to both Paul and his men at Acts 22:6-11. Paul alone heard a voice from heaven at Acts 22:6-11 and probably at Acts 26.13-19, but both Paul and his men heard the voice at Acts 9:3-8. Each of these stories says that the voice from heaven said it was Jesus, and from this one could believe that Paul did accept that it was really Jesus. The differences in the three accounts could lead one to assume that Paul's own contemporary account is the only really reliable one and that the miraculous conversion on the Road to Damascus probably did not happen.

Answer 2

There is no recorded number, but given the knock-on effects, you can safely say the end result was in the billions.
