Summary
The easiest way to learn about Islam is through the traditions of Mohammed called the Hadith.
The Koran repeatedly commands every Muslim to follow the perfect example of Mohammed’s life, his words and deeds, referred to as the Sunna. The Sunna includes the Hadith (Mohammed’s traditions) and the Sira (Mohammed’s biography).
Since there is not enough information in the Koran for Muslims to practice Islam and understand the doctrine, the easiest way to learn about it is from Mohammed’s traditions. The Hadith gives us fascinating and detailed accounts of his life. We know what Mohammed looked like, his sense of humor, his superstitions, and how he ate. Details about his sex life, family life, and leadership are all recorded.
These Hadith contain all the information that is needed to follow the example of Mohammed as a father, a political ruler, a warrior, and the perfect husband.
The Hadith is a condensed version of the Islamic hadith collections, providing the listener with a taste of Islam. It is concise and authoritative. The reference system allows you to confirm and verify all information with the original source texts.

Claims to be objective, but is not
Claims to be objective, but is surely very set on the way it attacks the analysis... I hoped I could have a refund...

Misinformed, politically charged islamophobe
Although knowledgable on the political history of aspects of of the prophet Muhammad (pbuh), empires that succeeded him and the present day politics of the Middle East, this attempt to discern what the traditions of Islam are is misinformed, politically charged and frankly, Islamophobic.
The tenets of the faith are not anything like he describes, and Muslims do not perceive their religion of opinions through the narrow political lens he attempts to argue. Muslims abide by different legal schools of jurisprudence through which they look at Hadiths, sayings, alongside reading their findings with Quran. Some are stricter in their interpretations than others. That alone explains why the other 1.8 billion of us aren’t out killing people every day. As the Holy Quran says: “Whoever wants, let him believe, and whoever wants, let him disbelieve (2:256)”
I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone wanting to educate themselves on Islam, middle eastern politics, the history of the Middle East, the prophet Muhammad or the opinions of Muslims. It’s a helpful listen in terms of the American relationship between itself and the Middle East, but even then, it isn’t as lucid as other historians are on the issues.

Upsetting
Seemed a very negative take on Islam. I could not get into a rhythm to listen objectively. Written with an islamaphobia angle ???

Waste of money, stay away.
The author is claiming to be objective and to apply only impartial scientific methodology to analyse the Sunna. It is nothing further from the true. He is biased and cherry picking facts and fragments just to proof and justify his negative point. He shows complete lack of understanding of Koran and Sunna. I’m scientist myself and in my view this book can teach the researchers how not to conduct their research!

Lies & Deceit
Only time Bill is honest is when he describes himself as ‘kafir’. The book is lies and deceit. Bill is pretending to be scientific but every quotation is taken out of its true context twisted and lied about with added explicit fiction. This makes Bill not only a kafir but also a munafiq. He is even claiming that Islam is responsible for all African slavery!

There's a certain degree of overlap
There's a certain degree of overlap with the other books in the series, but in fact that is quite helpful as the repetition of the most key points helps to drive things home.
It might be useful to incorporate as a cheat sheet a pdf in the Audible library with the key texts and their references as it is hard to remember them all from an audio reading, and when engaging a Muslim about these points they may try to downplay them or even claim we made them up. So this would be a useful addition.
