Episode 203: Introducing the Qur’ān, Part I: Revelation, Text, and History
In this episode, Part I of our introduction to the Qur’ān, we introduce some useful terms of art and historical parameters for discussing the holy text of Islām, we give a very basic summary the traditional Islamic account of the Qur’ān‘s origin, and also discuss the modern, scholarly approach to the Qur’ān through text-critical analysis. It emerges that the Qur’ān is not a book, exactly.
