Thesis
A student of Albert Schweitzer and Martin Werner, he
was able to successfully demonstrate the textual link
between pre-Islamic Christian hymnody in the Middle
East to the composition of the Qur'an. His
reconstructions yielded a new insight into the rise
and early development of Islam suggesting that the
early believers of what later became Orthodox Islam
were originally one of the worldwide last communites
sticking to the original, not yet Trinitarian
Christian creed whose theological positions were
adopted by later generations to become the purely Arab
ethno-centric religion Islam (i.e. "religion of
Abraham and the tribes"). He also proposed that the
Meccan and Central Arabian adversaries of Muhammad,
the "mushrikun", the "associators" or those who
"associate" other gods to God, were Trinitarian
Christians but who were in early post prophetic times
reinterpreted as if havin been "idolators" or
"pagans". The far reaching implications of Lülings
research has yet to be realized[1]
