The Bible is a collection of works.
A better analog would be the Collected Works of Plato.

Nonsense. I would say The Laws is the Old Testament and The Republic is the New Testament, despite the anachronism.

You can see the parallels. I wouldn't put any of the other Plato's dialogues on the level of 'theological works', though. The Timaeus is far too metaphysical to be a religious work, and everything else just deals with concepts, or the typical Platonic contraries.

So there. I suppose if I wanted to say which of Plato's works would be 'the bible', I would say The Laws and The Republic.

It certainly is an epic work. I'd say it's one of 'the great' must-read religious works, alongside The Laws.

Because that's what The Republic is: a religious work.

What most people underestimate about The Republic is its originality. Yes, most of us could vomit all of its ideas from our basis of Western education - but without Plato's influence we likely would never have had the benefit of those ideas being so neatly served to us. The ideas would all be in the abstract and we would have to deduce the principles on our own. It is a lot easier to digest someone else's deductions than it is to make them on your own. The author's environment must always be a consideration of the reader.
