St. Augustine is pretty good. His Confessions are a must read, from there read the City of God. Also, look up: St. Teresa of Avila (I think I spelled her name wrong but it should give you hits on google), St. Thomas Aquinas (if you like the philosophy side of things) and Dante Alighieri.

Start with the Ladder of Divine Ascent and end with the City of God

Augustine, Boethus, and Anselm are the big ones. Augustine actually converted after being a fuck up, a philosopher, and in a cult so he's especially interesting.

Imo he's barely recognisable as a philosopher. Some parts read like the manifesto of a psychopath, which may or may not interest

Augustine wasn't in a cult, you fucking moron. Other than Christianity, that is.

He was a Maneciean son
