Robert Cummings Neville (born May 1, 1939) is an American philosopher and theologian, author of numerous books, and for much of his career Dean of Boston University School of Theology.
His most significant scholarly contribution lies in an original argument for the existence of God, based in his PhD dissertation at Yale University, and published subsequently as God the Creator. More recently he has become a staunch advocate of the discipline of comparative theology, understood as the quest for truth about divine matters through comparison of religious ideas among various religious traditions. In this regard, Robert Neville has become a significant proponent of Confucianism as a world philosophy.
