Wisdom of Solomon
It's pretty much entirely Platonist.
The essence of Platonism is found in it.

I learned both what is secret and what is manifest,
for wisdom, the fashioner of all things, taught me.
For in her there is a spirit that is intelligent, holy,
unique, manifold, subtle,
mobile, clear, unpolluted,
distinct, invulnerable, loving the good, keen,
irresistible,
beneficent, humane, steadfast, sure, free from anxiety,
all-powerful, overseeing all,
and penetrating through all spirits
that are intelligent and pure and most subtle.
For wisdom is more mobile than any motion;
because of her pureness she pervades and penetrates all things.
For she is a breath of the power of God,
and a pure emanation of the glory of the Almighty;
therefore nothing defiled gains entrance into her.
For she is a reflection of eternal light,
a spotless mirror of the working of God,
and an image of his goodness.
Though she is but one, she can do all things,
and while remaining in herself, she renews all things;
in every generation she passes into holy souls
and makes them friends of God, and prophets;
for God loves nothing so much as the man who lives with wisdom.
For she is more beautiful than the sun,
and excels every constellation of the stars.
Compared with the light she is found to be superior,
for it is succeeded by the night,
but against wisdom evil does not prevail.

My favorite part is revelation. Especially this line:
eople worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, "Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?"

>From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” 24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.
When I read this as a teenager I experienced an immense amount of cognitive dissonance (as I did with many biblical passages) because I wanted to believe I was reading the words of a holy and benevolent god not a puerile cosmic tyrant. I think this was one of the verses that convinced me to stop worshiping this over emotional feminine faggot who mass murders kids for making fun of his soiboi baldy prophet.

>Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
>Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
>When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
>Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
>And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

There is a fundamental contradiction between him saying that they will ask him where have they seen him like that and him answering them. Why would they later ask him since he has just told them? It beckons you to be proactive in reading, in this case towards consideration of "retrocausality", Subject-Object relation whereby participation in the text changes yields radically different meaning, what Moral presciptivism actually is, etc. And in this case, uncovering all of this per the superficial meaning, witnessing God in odd places, in the text itself, behind the contradiction.

How can a reasonable person actually be a Christian (or Jew or Muslim)? Like, I'm not even advocating atheism, much less materialism but how can you be a man of reason and think the cause and order of all things is a guy who gets upset about you shooting loads into a sock? I'm not even saying such an entity necessarily doesn't exist,but where does his preeminence come from? Surely there are cosmologies that seem much more essential than what Abrahamism has to offer.
