%X Au plan historique, les traditions relatives ¨¤ la conversion de Paul, chutant de son cheval sur le chemin de Damas, confrontent l¡¯ex¨¦g¨¨te ¨¤ trois probl¨¨mes importants : y avait-il un cheval, cela se passait-il sur le chemin de Damas et ¨¦tait-ce bien une conversion ? Entendues avec l¡¯humour et la distance critique n¨¦cessaires, ces trois questions constituent les trois chapitres de cet article. Le premier   Y avait-il un cheval ?   s¡¯int¨¦resse ¨¤ l¡¯histoire de la r¨¦ception de l¡¯¨¦pisode de la conversion de Paul, en particulier dans la peinture et la litt¨¦rature. Le second   Cela se passait-il sur le chemin de Damas ?   est consacr¨¦e au r¨¦cit que l¡¯auteur du livre des Actes propose de la conversion de Paul, r¨¦cit qui constitue, bien souvent, la porte d¡¯entr¨¦e exclusive pour aborder le th¨¨me. Le troisi¨¨me   Etait-ce bien une conversion ?   analyse les t¨¦moignages de l¡¯ap tre lui-m¨ºme ¨¤ travers deux passages cl¨¦s de ses ¨¦p tres authentiques. Historically speaking, the traditions concerning the conversion of Paul, falling from his horse on the road to Damascus, confront the exegete with three important problems : was there a horse, did it happen on the road to Damacus and was it really a conversion ? These three questions, considered with humor and critical distance, constitute the three sections of this article. The first part   Was there a horse ?   considers the history of the reception of the episode of the conversion of Paul, particularly in art and literature. The second one   Did it happen on the road to Damascus ?  ) is devoted to the story of the conversion of Paul proposed by the author of the book of Acts, which is very often the exclusive entrance to the discussion of this theme. The third section   Was it really a conversion ?   analyzes the account given by the apostle himself in two key passages of his authentic epistles.
