I really like the /r/AcademicBiblical/ community on Reddit for these kinds of things. I'm also much more into the spiritual and mystical aspects of Christianity, which, IMO, were either obfuscated or intentionally removed. Couple this with the wide range of translations and you get a boring result.

The orthodox and coptic churches are much more mystical than the catholic church, and much much more than protestant denominations. Reading about the early Irish church is interesting, since it was very influential in the middle ages with many of the most famous saints, and it was a very mystical and ascetic branch of the faith.
