Dr. Jonathan Brown returns to the podcast for a discussion on the roots of the Qur'anic text, its compilation, and what impact its historicity has today on how we view the last sacred scripture.

When Jake entered Islam, he was immediately influenced by the Quran-only movement. This is a loosely organized group of thinkers who reject the Hadith and do not reference the Sunna as a source of guidance. After nearly a decade of being with this group, he shares with us the main verse that changed his mind. He also tells us about the bizarre followers of self-proclaimed "messenger" Rashad Khalifa and the theory of 19.
