Spiritual teachers of Interfaith/Comparative religion

Question

I'm looking for any suggested teachers that have studied the religions of the world and, while likely leaning towards one religion more than another, teaches about God from the perspective of all beliefs?

Answer 1

Most scholars who study religion use a comparative method, and would to some degree teach about differing ideas about the divine. But it sounds like you might mean something more specific? If you’re interested in someone who holds the view that all religions share deep commonalities, there’s actually a term for that way of understanding religion: “perennialism” or” “perennial philosophy”. It’s the idea that all religions, at the core, share the same spiritual values and goals. If you wanted to read up on this more, some good scholars to start with might be: William James, Aldous Huxley, or Huston Smith, but there are many others, each with their own view on what that shared core is.
