Product Description
Product Description
This is one of the first (and still one of the few) comprehensive books about the Sikh religion in the English language. MacAuliffe had extensive access to manuscripts of the Sikh sacred writings (the Granth), as well as support from Sikh scholars and leaders of the time. This volume covers Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism. This is volume one of six; future volumes are forthcoming. (Quote from sacred-texts.com)

Format:Paperback
I must say this book 'The Sikh religion'by Max Arthur Mccauliffe is a marvellous book. It arrived earlier then I had expected and immediately Idevelped an interest in reading it.
It talks about how the Sikh religion is a misinterpreted and beautiful religion. There are also magnificent quotes throughout the book from the teachings of the 10 spiritual gurus of the Sikhs and from the holy scriptures the Guru Granth Sahib.
I recommend this book to all those who have an interest in Sikhism, or who are hesitant about the faith.
10/10
