Best books on religion?
#7
RE: Best books on religion?
Two suggestions:

The Good Man Jesus And The Scoundrel Christ by Philip Pullman.  A really interesting take on the origins of Christianity.  A work of fiction, it posits Jesus Christ as two brothers - 'Jesus', a legitimate 'holy' man, and Christ, a dour, cynical manipulator who uses his brother's teachings to found a powerful church.

Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis.  Almost a play-by-play of the desperation of Christian apologetics.
