This book uses innovative analysis of the Arabic text of the Qur’an to demonstrate that much of the Qur’an was composed live in oral performance, exploring the rich oral culture that preceded its formative period and showing that only by viewing it through an oral lens can one begin to properly understand the process by which it first coalesced.
