Lately, I have been reading books on Church history. Here are a few good ones that I've read lately:
The Story of Christianity by Justo L. Gonz'alez
Western Society and the Church in the Middle Ages by R. W. Southern
The Spirit of Protestantism by Robert McAfee Brown
The First Urban Christians: The Social World of the Apostle Paul by Wayne A. Meeks
Here are a few other books that I heartedly recommend (other than church history):
The One Purpose of God: An answer to the doctrine of Eternal Punishment by Jan Bonda This book may be controversial for some, but Bonda provides a coherent and plausible alternative to the conventional idea/doctrine of eternal retribution. I heartily recommend it.
The Christian Agnostic by Leslie D. Weatherhead The title threw me off at first, but it is an excellent read.
The Soul's Code by James Hillman. This is not a Christian book per se, but it really helps put the idea of purpose in one's life into perspective. Many of the ideas and principles introduced by Hillman are very applicable to Christian living. This book has actually changed my life.
Skylar, I love Neuhaus. I've been a faithful reader of First Things for years. While I am a bit more liberal than most Neuhaus fans, I find the quality and level of scholarship that Neuhaus stands for to be refreshing.

Feels a bit strange reccommending it in the section that also describes "Western Society and the church in the Middle Ages" but hey, some days you eat five star lobster, some days you chow down on a really great hamburger.
Yes I know shamelsss self-promotion...i wrote it! Anyway....would love you to try it and let me know what you think.... eager for some wise reader reviews.

Thanks Bernard for the Book Recommendation. I haven't found anything I could relate to on the topic of the liturgy. Hopefully the Mosebach will do the trick.
