Stoddart has been called a "master of synthesis"[2] and is one of the important Perennialist writers in the present day. For many years he was assistant editor of the British journal Studies in Comparative Religion. He has translated into English, from the original French or German, several of the books of the perennialist masters Frithjof Schuon (1907–1998) and Titus Burckhardt (1908–1984).

Stoddart lived most of his life in London, England, and now lives in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.[3]
