Creating the Quran: A fascinating new history book on the origins of the Quran
'Brand new book by Dr. Stephen Shoemaker. I have attached a link to read this book for free (pdf format) as well as a brief synopsis provided by the publisher:
Creating the Qur’an presents the first systematic historical-critical study of the Qur’an’s origins, drawing on methods and perspectives commonly used to study other scriptural traditions....
...Shoemaker concludes that the canonical text of the Qur’an was most likely produced only around the turn of the eighth century.
Anyone can use this link to read the FULL text. Enjoy '

Looks like it will be an interesting read for anyone interested in the Quran's origins from a secular western application of the historical method
In my opinion.
