{"product_id":"sikhism-arvind-pal-singh-mandair-9781441102317","title":"Sikhism: A Guide for the Perplexed","description":"Sikhism's short but relatively eventful history provides a fascinating insight into the working of misunderstood and seemingly contradictory themes such as politics and religion, violence and mysticism, culture and spirituality, orality and textuality, public sphere versus private sphere, tradition and modernity. This book presents students with a careful analysis of these complex themes as they have manifested themselves in the historical evolution of the Sikh traditions and the encounter of Sikhs with modernity and the West, in the philosophical teachings of its founders and their interpretation by Sikh exegetes, and in Sikh ethical and intellectual responses to contemporary issues in an increasingly secular and pluralistic world. \u003ci\u003eSikhism: A Guide for the Perplexed\u003c\/i\u003e serves as an ideal guide to Sikhism, and also for students of Asian studies, Sociology of Religion and World Religions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arvind-Pal Singh Mandair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1441102310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781441102317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/08\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Arvind-Pal Singh Mandair","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986199052543,"sku":"9781441102317","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e08c300b-508e-46e9-ace7-2f7a9393c3b2.jpg?v=1683281945","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sikhism-arvind-pal-singh-mandair-9781441102317","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
