🎙️ In this episode of the Real Talk Podcast, we’re 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” 📜✨ (link below ⬇️).

James Howard-Johnston is a Lecturer in Byzantine Studies at the University of Oxford, and author of the monumental Witnesses to a World Crisis: Historians and Histories of the Middle East in the Seventh Century — a masterclass in deep source analysis. His work examines the formative phase of Islam through both Islamic and non-Islamic sources, offering an unparalleled look at this pivotal historical period.

In this discussion, we explore:
🔍 Why he considers the Qur’an a key historical source
📆 What a chronological reading of the text—alongside other materials—can reveal about the Prophet’s evolving role as both a spiritual and political leader of a religion that reshaped the world
