Ooo, you're topical choice looks especially good.

Here's my recommendation (although I'm only halfway through):

Original Sin, A Cultural History by Alan Jacobs
(one of the first books in the "new" section at B&N that I've bothered to pick up.)
If you don't know, Mr. Jacobs is also the author of "The Narnian" a biography of C.S. Lewis, and a Catholic convert.
