The Lost History of Christianity: The Thousand-Year Golden Age of the Church in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia—and How It Died Faithlife Ebooks by Philip Jenkins is available for purchase. Most of us know the most about the Western Latin Church, a bit about the Eastern Byzantine Church, and nothing about the Oriental Syriac Church. Spend a bit of time with this book and your understanding of Christian History will radically change (except for a few who've already made the leap to the far East.)

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

Excellent. It looks like a bunch of books from HarperOne have become available lately. Some great prices on them, too!

Another one that had been requested (with 27 votes) was The Moral Vision of the New Testament by Richard Hays, and that is now here:
