Abstract: What is Sikhism — and how has it shaped the lives of millions from its birth in the Punjab to its presence across the globe? In The Religion of the Sikhs, Dorothy Field offers a masterful and compassionate exploration of one of the world's most vibrant and resilient spiritual traditions. Rooted in the teachings of Guru Nanak and the nine gurus who followed him, Sikhism champions a radical vision of equality, service, and devotion. Field's accessible yet richly nuanced narrative guides readers through the religion's sacred scriptures, its rituals and festivals, its ideals of ethics and community, and its living traditions in contemporary society. With clarity and insight, Field unpacks complex theological themes and situates them within the historical and cultural evolution of Sikh thought. Whether you are a curious newcomer, a student of world religions, or someone seeking deeper understanding of faith in action, this book opens a door to the heart of Sikh spirituality.
