This book is not only an intensive study of the gospel of the Sikh Gurus, but also compares and contrasts the doctrines and principles of Sikhism with those of the other higher religions of the world. The object of the book is two-fold : first, to explain the identity, unity and integrity of the Sikh gospel and secondly, to undertake on the basis of the essentials of each system, a classification of the principal religions of the world and in that context, to bring out the place of Sikhism among them.
