Deep dives
The Impact of Daniel Brubaker's Book
Daniel Brubaker's book, published in 2019, has caused a stir among Muslims. The book highlights the changes and corrections found in the Quran manuscripts, and the Muslim response has been furious. Some Muslims have tried to refute the claims made by Brubaker, but their critiques have been flawed and misrepresented his arguments. Brubaker continues to research and document the corrections, with thousands more examples to come. The book has clearly hit a nerve within Islamic academic circles, challenging the traditional belief that the Quran is perfectly preserved.
