Another question on 2 Cor. 12.  Is there anyone (reputable) who
identifies the experience Paul speaks about here, 14 years ago, with
his call/conversion?  I reckon it'd be difficult to squeeze
everything from Paul's call to the writing of 2 Cor. into 14 years,
but I'd be interested if anyone has made the identification.

While not going all the way back to Damascus, Christopher Morray-Jones makes an interesting case for identifying the 2 Cor 12 vision with the one recounted in Acts 22:17-21. It's in the 1993 HTR, a two-part article on Hekhalot literature and Paul, with pp. 265-292 focusing on 2 Cor.
