Little has been written by western scholars on the life of Guru Nanak, the founder of the Sikh tradition, and most books are simply historical accounts. This new introduction from established author W. Owen Cole, however, addresses the life and role of Guru Nanak from both a religious and historical perspective, considering not simply his lifetime achievements, but also uncovering the spiritual message of Sikhism and asking what role this message might play in today's world. Accessible and direct, this is an empathetic and objective account of the life, times and lasting relevance of one of the world's great religious teachers.
