I've just started studying the Quran and it really reads like a bunch of random preaching piled together in a totally arbitrary order. It's not incoherent, but it's like if someone sat down by a street preacher and wrote everything he said, no matter how many times he repeated himself, went on random tangents, or contradicted himself.

The story of Satan's rebellion is told seven times with different details each time and events happening in different orders. I can't help but agree with the academics who say that Muhammad was repeating and remixing Jewish and Christian stories he'd heard orally. I don't see any divine revelation in it.
