Christoph Luxenberg

    Christoph Luxenberg is a pseudonym for an author whose work delves into the linguistic underpinnings of early Islamic texts. His seminal research posits that the language of the early Quran was not exclusively Arabic, as traditionally understood, but significantly influenced by the Syro-Aramaic dialect prevalent in the 7th century. Luxenberg argues that Aramaic, a language of culture and liturgy at the time, profoundly shaped the scripture's composition and meaning. His scholarly contributions offer a compelling new perspective for understanding the Quran's origins.
