James Simpson: Burning to Read: English Fundamentalism and Its Reformation Opponents
- A Religious of C.S.M.V.: St. Athanasius on the Incarnation
This 1944 edition actually has a wonderful introduction by CS Lewis on the importance of reading theology first hand (in other words, read Augustine, not someone explaining Augustine).

You should see the rest of Eddie Izzard's stand up comedy. This bit is from his Dressed to Kill show. I warn you he does dress in feminine clothing and make up but he is brilliant and hilarious. There are bits of most of his shows on youtube.
