I'm the author of Hegel's Philosophy of Reality, Freedom, and God (Cambridge University Press, 2005). I see Hegel as an important contributor to the Platonic tradition. I'm working on a trade book currently entitled, "'This Longing you Express Is the Return Message': How a Philosopher Found God." It discusses Plato at length, together with Jelaluddin Rumi and R. W. Emerson, and presents a Platonic/Hegelian theology.
