The Origins of Islam - 1.4 The Koran: The Writers of the Koran

REFERENCES IN THE DESCRIPTION BELOW
In this episode, I'm looking at the writers of the Proto-Koran. Based on the influences established in the previous video and the Syro-Aramaic reading by Christoph Luxenberg, I try to narrow down who these people were, what they believed in, where they were located and when they were active.

The "Origin of Islam" series is intended to provide a big-picture look at how Islam started, where it came from, how it evolved and how we ended up with the religion we know of today. I'm introducing the historical critical method as it's applied to the Quran and paint a new narrative based on primary evidence and linguistic analysis.
