Or does lasting peace demand a far deeper transformation of how we understand ourselves, one another, and society?</p><p>Rather than approaching the question through history or sociology, Miguel Sanesteban Gil traces what Bahá'u'lláh and 'Abdu'l-Bahá actually meant by peace, and why it is inseparable from unity and justice.
