Textbook for a class.

Kaur gives a good overview of Sikh theology and history, from multiple angles. The only criticism I have is that when she compares and contrasts Sikhism with other religions, particularly Hinduism, she does not always fully appreciate the diversity of perspectives contained within those traditions, especially in their Tantrik manifestations. Her emphasis on Sikh feminism is very insightful, though, and has been helpful for understanding the gender bias in most English translations of Sikh scripture.

It offers a decent, high-level overview of Sikhism's core principles and history. However, the book suffers from occasional lapses in clarity and depth. While it provides a foundation, it falls short in fully exploring the richness and nuance of Sikhism. A satisfactory introduction but not a comprehensive one.

Very satisfied.
