Abstract
Traditionally, the Paul’s vocation-revelation has been considered as a punctual fact that supposes a change of course in the life of the apostle of Tarsus and no scholar would dare to deny the importance of such experience, which took place in the road to Damascus. Nevertheless, the Italian biblist, C. Doglio in his study about the biblical keys of the mission of the Church briefly suggests three moments in the in the Luke’s account of the Acts: the particular moment in which the Apostle receives a call, the known experience of Damascus; the moment in Tarsus in which Barnabas tries to integrate him in the community of Antioch (Acts11, 25-26); and finally, the sending mission due to the action of the Spirit (Acts 13,2-3). Following this intuition, this article analyzes each of the three vocation moments that reflect the Apostle’s theological progressive route: meeting with Christ, with the community and with the mission.
