He wrote several books, including The Guru Granth Sahib, which was published posthumously in 1994, and Understanding Your Sikh Neighbour. Owen Cole has written widely on Religious Education as well as Sikhism. The last book which he and Piara Singh wrote together was Sikhism and Christianity.

Review

“A superb multi-dimensional introduction to Sikh thought and practice... this brief yet thorough work on one of India’s most important religious groups should be found in every library.”  —Choice

“It is an important book and there is nothing like it in the field. I have used it on my own courses on Sikhism in Columbia and students enjoyed reading it.”  —Professor Gurinder Singh Mann
