i've been looking into the bible after having a bout of skepticism towards the second half of the new testament, mainly centered around paul. i understand it is understood that he saw Jesus in a vision on his trip to damascus with a few unnamed witnesses to the event which caused him to renounce judaisim and embrace Christianity. while i would like to take him at his word, i find issue with the fact that the testimony of these witnesses isn't included in the bible and we have to rely on paul's word alone. i'm wondering if any of the Christians on this board can give an explanation for why his account is taken as seriously as the other apostles
