1) "Church Fathers" - particularly from the death of Paul to the rise of Constantine, I want to learn what the church was preaching in the time between those two men.
2) Refute "Age of Reason" and "The God Delusion" and maybe some Voltaire, I've never read anything from him yet so I don't know if I would actually even disagree yet. The church was very corrupt in his time he may have been justified.
3) A condemnation of the Episcopal Church for endorsing openly homosexual ministers. In particular the book would have a historical bent by looking at the founder of the Anglican (i.e. Episcopal) church and how he broke from the Catholic because they would not grant him divorce. Essentially that denomination is based on changing God's marital laws.
4) "Letter to a Social Christian Nation", sort of an anti-religious-right book.
5) My own full translation of the Greek New Testament (I haven't learned Hebrew yet). It'd be kinda funny to have my own published version of the Bible.

Start with the Church Fathers and work your way up to the translation. A solid knowledge of Irenaeus and Tertullian will acquaint you with some of the text in the earlier Greek MSS, and help to equip you when you have to face the numerous versions of the New Testament writings.

i'd like to see number one. if a good topic, without a great deal of possible controversy in which to get imbroiled, and the church fathers is a very important period for the christian belief system.
I'd be care of writing you own translation of the bible, because you would have to keep deciding if you would translate for the spirit of the text or for the literal translation. sometimes they don't meet up exactly.

you know what, call me crazy but all of these books have already been written. The God Delusion was written by Richard Dawkins, the Age of Reason was written by Thomas Paine, just to name a few on your list there
