The guru in Sikhism
Short Reviews and Book Notes
W. Owen Cole, The Guru in Sikhism, London,
97
Darton Longman and Todd 1982 .
128 pp . £3 .95 Owen Cole has done a great deal to fill the bibliographical gap in introductory material on one of the most important religious communities in Britain. Many of us welcomed his clearly presented `The Sikhs, their Beliefs and Practices' which he wrote jointly with Piara Singh Sambhi (R.K .P . 1978) . This new short volume is a complement to another larger work `Sikhism and its Indian Context 1469-1708' (D .L.T . 1982) and deals with the concept of the Guru as it is related by Sikhs to God himself but also historically to ten men, to a book and to the Sikh Community . There is a full glossary and useful bibliography . PEGGY MORGAN Westminster College, Oxford
