St. Paul, St Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas. The three greatest Christian Philosophers.

I think Plato is well worth the time. Although I see what you think about pagan philosophers. I’ve only scratched the surface with any of these guys. It’s rich.
 
I would recommend reading philosophy from St. Thomas Aquinas, as well as other Thomists like Garrigou Lagrange. I would recommend avoiding philosophers that were on the Index of Forbidden books, such as Kant.
 
Read Paul Johnson’s Intellectuals for a solid primer on which ones to avoid & to better understand how Western thought went off the rails.
