The Religion of the Sikhs is a book by Dorothy Field, first published in 1914. Written from a Western perspective at the turn of the 20th century, it offers a concise and engaging introduction to Sikhism. This accessible guide covers the history of the Sikh faith, explores the lineage of the Gurus, explains core beliefs and sacred scriptures, and features select hymns from the central Sikh texts. Field’s study thoughtfully presents Sikh doctrines, religious practices, and spiritual foundations in a clear and respectful manner. The inclusion of hymns from the Granth Sahib and the tenth Guru’s writings adds authenticity and depth, giving readers a direct glimpse into Sikh devotional life. This compact yet informative overview serves as a practical starting point for students of religion, interfaith researchers, or anyone seeking to understand Sikhism’s religious history and cultural relevance.
