If you want to really understand the insides of christian churches, check out Margaret Visser's incredible book The Geometry of Love.
She looks in depth at an 'ordinary' suburban church in Rome, and dissects out the meaning of practically every inch of it. One of the most stunning books I've ever read I think - a sort of natural history of churches. I like her other books too.
