Summary

Now in an updated second edition, Gabriel Said Reynolds tells the story of Islam in this brief survey, beginning with Muhammad's early life and rise to power, then tracing the origins and development of the Qur'an juxtaposed with biblical literature, and concluding with an overview of modern and fundamentalist narratives of the origin of Islam. Reynolds offers a fascinating look at the structure and meaning of the Qur'an, revealing the ways in which biblical language is used to advance the Qur'an's religious meaning. Reynolds's analysis identifies the motives that shaped each narrative—Islamic, Jewish, and Christian. The book's conclusion yields a rich understanding of diverse interpretations of Islam's emergence, suggesting that its emergence is itself ever-developing.

An excellent overview of modern Quran studies.

It is one of the very few books on audible in English covering the basic beliefs of Islam, the traditional account of it's history, and revisionist challenges in modern years to this.
There are also a few chapters on the issue's of contemporary Muslims and islamic society in the last few chapters. I would also recommend his lecturers on Islam Course also on Audible
