A rigorous intellectual discipline is applied to bring out Sikh perspective on Cod, man and human destiny and in the process some of the problems of Sikh theology have been resolved with remarkable assurance and finesse. This study is marked by deep personal faith as well as by penetrating insights of a vital and searching intellect. Though a slim volume, this monograph will nevertheless constitute a well- formulated, lucid and concise statement and will rank as a reliable guide 10 Sikh thought and poetics. In Guninder Kaur, Sikh faith has found a highly accomplished and articulate interpreter or the innermost vision of the Gurus and of the concept of life issuing from it.
