Mr. Lyttleton's observations on the conversion and Apostleship of St. Paul are found in a letter to Gilbert West. In a late conversation Lyttleton and West has together upon the subject of the Christian religion, Lyttleton told West that besides all the proofs of it which may be drawn from the prophecies of the Old Testament, from the necessary connection it has with the whole system of the Jewish religion, from the miracles of Christ, and from the evidence given of his resurrection and the Apostleship of St. Paul, the author thought the conversion and the Apostleship of St. Paul alone was of itself a demonstration sufficient to prove Christianity to be a divine revelation.
