OK, will do, thanks. And off the top of my head, for the history I recommend

Post-Christendom, by Stuart Murray. He's a radical Anabaptist theologian, very challenging man, and he gives an excellent account of how Constantine became a Christian and spread it across the Empire, and how thus Christianity became (he argues wringly) associated with power and wealth and The Establishment in a way it was never intended to be, and what the consequences were for the Middle Ages, and how it all fell apart, and where we are now. It's an excellent book.
