medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Is this a very common tradition for a call to a devout life? I am
thinking of Martin Luther and his experience in Stotternheim, where he
was caught in a storm and vowed to pursue a monastic life if he'd
survive. He survived and became monk.

"But he had a Paul-like experience when caught in a thunderstorm and
thrown
by his horse, after which he converted to a seriously religious life."
Perhaps a reason Paul is usually (and implausibly) shown thrown from a
horse
on the road to Damascus...?
