This series provides succinct and balanced overviews of the religions of the world. Written in an accessible and informative style, and assuming little or no prior knowledge on the part of the reader, each book gives a basic introduction to the faith-- its history, beliefs, and practices-- and emphasizes modern developments and the role and impact of the religion in today's world.

"Sikhism" is a concise and readable survey of the history of Sikhism, from its founding in the Punjab in the sixteenth century to its spread across the globe today. Focusing particularly on the modern period, it provides a valuable introduction to contemporary Sikh beliefs, devotional activity, and sacred space. "Sikhism" looks at the ways in which this regional religious tradition has become a global religion and how it continues to adapt and meet the challenges of the modern world.
