Video Description (from Youtube)

What if the traditional story of Islam's origins is incomplete?

In this fascinating conversation, historian Peter von Sivers explores the world that gave birth to Islam—an era dominated by the Byzantine and Persian Empires, fierce Christian theological battles, and competing visions of who Jesus really was.

Could early Islam have emerged from debates between Jacobite and Nestorian Christians? Was Petra more important than Mecca in the earliest stages of Islamic history? Why do some scholars argue that the Quran reflects controversies that were already dividing Christian communities across the Middle East?

We examine the Byzantine Empire, the Persian Empire, the Ghassanids, the Lakhmids, the origins of the Quran, the role of Jerusalem, and the controversial theories surrounding Muhammad, Mecca, Medina, and Petra.

Whether you agree or disagree, this discussion dives into some of the most debated questions in modern Islamic studies.

Topics Covered:

- Origins of Islam
- Petra Theory
- Early Quranic History
- Byzantine Empire
- Persian Empire
- Ghassanids and Lakhmids
- Christian Influence on Islam

- Jerusalem in Early Islam
