Introducing the Qur’ān, Part I: Revelation, Text, and History

from Podcast episodes – The Secret History of Western Esotericism Podcast (SHWEP) · host Earl Fontainelle

We cover some basic territory in introducing the Qur'ān, the holiest text of Islām. We introduce the text, discuss the traditional story of the Qur'ān's revelation, the modern text-critical enterprise of Qur'anic studies, and try to pin down the elusive character of this book-that-is-not-a-book.
