From The Front Cover Of ''The Philosophy of Religion : A Sikh Perspective' By Arvind Sharma

While the historical, social and literary dimensions of Sikhism have been much appreciated, its philosophical dimension has not received the same measure of attention. This book attempts to highlight dimensions of Sikh thought with regard to time-honoured issues in the philosophy of religion, such as arguments for the existence of God, the problem of evil, and so on. It is also an attempt to contextualise the Western philosophy of religion in an Indian matrix. Previous works by the author on this topic have covered Indic thought during the ancient and modern periods of Indian history, leaving a gap so far as the medieval period was concerned. This study of Sikhism is a modest effort to close that gap.
