MUHAMMAD
Video Description (from Youtube)
In this episode of the Real Talk Podcast, we are thrilled to welcome back to the channel the eminent Mr. James Howard-Johnston to discuss the contents of his recent article “The Qur’an as a Historical Source.” A link to which you will find below.James Howard Johnston is a Lecturer in Byzantine Studies at the University of Oxford, whose seminal book “Witnesses to a World Crisis: Historians and Histories of the Middle East in the Seventh Century“ is a monumental example of in-depth source analysis, examining the formative phase of Islam through the lens of both non-Islamic and Islamic sources.
In this discussion, we focus on why he considers the Qur’an to be such a key historical source and what a chronological reading of the text alongside other sources can reveal about the development of the Prophet’s career as both a spiritual and political leader of a religion that transformed history.
