Quote:The notion that Paul did beat and kill Christians before his conversion is derived from Acts. I argue elsewhere (following several scholars) that this is theologically motivated fabrication. I am arguing from the evidence of Paul’s letters alone.


Those "letters" need to be put in context, too.  But for now let's take them as the early redactions of 2d century jesus freaks who decided to rehabilitate "paul" after Marcion.
