I'm an Orthobro being tempted hard by Neoplatonism after I read Plato's Republic and some perennial philosophy. Gimme books to read to make me a good Christian before I get too far into pagan shenanigans.

You just posted serious cringe bro. Go to church and stop reading Larpers. If a greek pederast can shake your religious foundation then maybe you're just an American with a few icons in his room.

My Church has been closed since the opening Sunday of Lent last year and Plato wasn't a pedo that was Socrates

So connect with people from your church and organize a bible study and pray together. A church is not a church if there is nobody to worship in it, the church is the people. Your church is never closed.

Wait until you read Uzdavinys and become a tantric Egyptian theurgist.

Neoplatonism compliments Christianity perfectly.
Many neoplatonists have said after much contemplation they've arrived at Christianity and Christianity only.

Why the fuck would you be converting to Neoplatonism after reading Plato's republic? Neoplatonism is a severely edited, (super) mystical version of regular Platonism that was created centuries after Plato lived and died--so why would reading Plato's texts make you convert to NEOplatonism?

Also, Neoplatonism and Christianity aren't mutually exclusive. St. Augustine was heavily influenced by the Neo-platonists, as where basically all of the Christian theologians who followed him (up to the rediscovery of Aristotle, at least).
