In The Universalist, Collin Conkwright demonstrates that universal principles of theology and religious practice exist across spiritual traditions as a result of a shared divine reality.
Core examples across major religions and esoteric traditions are examined, alongside numerous instances of philosophers who compared religious attitudes and made universalizing statements.
In this reimagined Universalist approach, Conkwright embraces the differences between beliefs while identifying core themes that remain strikingly similar in experience and practice.
To this end, Conkwright reviews numerous examples of mystical praxis, near-death and out-of-body experiences, and the visionary, experiential accounts that lay at the roots of religious beliefs.
