The history of Christianity and of the Bible are both fascinating. There
was a thing on Discovery Channel or A&E called "the history of the
bible" (i think) which was fascinating - scholars of many denominations
chiming in on the meanings and history. The most recent thing I saw was
the Frontline series about the Gospels - very compelling stuff -
similarly filled-to-the-gills with what seemed like evenhanded
scholarship to my untrained eye. 

The site looks to have good parallel content.

Worth a look.
