Absalom,Absalom by William Faulkner is more theological. It’s a book that can be mined for stuff for forever.
The Sailor who Fell From Grace with the Sea by Yukio Mishima is a textbook example of nihilism and the wanting to go back to a time that never existed.
And the most philosophical/theological trilogy I have read the Boarder Trilogy by Cormac McCarthy especially The Crossing

Dostoyevsky – crime and punishment, The brothers karamazov, and The idiot. I found TBK to be my favorite and most philosophical.
