What would it mean to affirm the One while refusing to treat another person as lesser? This original English introduction explores Guru Nanak's vision of unity, truthful living, remembrance, work, sharing, and service. Eighteen chapters distinguish scriptural compositions from later life stories, follow the community at Kartarpur, and examine gender, caste, dialogue, and witness to political violence. Includes a glossary, annotated Sikh institutional and research sources, and a chapter-to-source map. A critical introduction, not a translation of the Guru Granth Sahib or a devotional manual.
