Produktbeschreibung

Provides a comprehensive overview of Sikhism. While acknowledging the centrality of history and text in understanding the main tenets of Sikhism, this highlights the religion's origins and development as a living spiritual tradition. It pays careful attention to particular events, movements, and individuals that have contributed to important changes within the tradition and challenges stereotypical notions of Sikh homogeneity and stasis.
