The Cambridge Companion to Muhammad (2010) is a volume edited by Jonathan E. Brockopp.

Abstract

"The book is divided into three sections, the first charting his biography and the milieu into which he was born, the revelation of the Qur'an, and his role within the early Muslim community. The second part assesses his legacy as a law-maker, philosopher, and politician and, finally, in the third part, chapters examine how Muhammad has been remembered across history in biography, prose, poetry, and, most recently, in film and fiction."--Publisher description.
