Summary
  • "Exploring Sikhism represents the fruit of an absorbing interest that has lasted nearly four decades.
  • "With articles that appeared in various journals and other edited works, but are mostly difficult to obtain, this volume makes an important segment of McLeod's work available.
  • It will be invaluable for those in the fields of Sikh studies, religious studies, history, sociology, as well as for general readers as an introduction and guide to the work of this important scholar."--BOOK JACKET.
  • McLeod's interest embraces all aspects of the life and beliefs of the Sikh people, and is of particular value as an outsider's research into a living religious faith."
