The Oxford annotated nrsv has great notes on the texts.
Googling your questions is also a good practice, considering the Bible is the most critically studied work on the shelf.
Also on YouTube there's a series called The Bible Project thats essentially an animated crash course for every book in the Bible; it's surprisingly good. I'd watch each video after finishing the respective book

The Church Fathers preferably. Justin Martyr (Conversation with Trifun), Athanasius of Alexandria (Against Arians), st. Augustine (his commentaries on the Gospels for example), commentaries on the gospels of st. Thomas Aquinas, Jesus of Nazareth trilogy by Benedict XVI.
Matthew Roberts
You Can Understand the Bible
Three Philosophies of Life
Handbook of Christian Apologetics
Christianity for Modern Pagans
A Summa of the Summa
I Burned for Your Peace
Neo-Scholastic Essays

I have to recommend Girard's work (The Scapegoat or I saw Satan fall like lighting are both good introductory works). For a jewish perspective Goodhart's The prophetic law is excellent. Goodhart's frequently references Buber's Prophetic faith, which is slightly different, but also very good.
Monitoring thread for further commentary/theology on the Tanakh.

The Oxford Annotated Bible isn't theology, It's secular biblical criticism, It won't help you understand the philosophy behind Christianity.
It'll help you argue to your boyfriend that Paul wasn't referring to homosexual couples though.

You can read Rashi's commentary online for free if you want a traditional jewish take

Also, the NABRE has excellent footnotes that you can read for free via Bible Gateway

The NET Bible comes with a full set of annotations

For videos, you can't go wrong with the Open Yale courses on the Old and New Testaments

Get "Enchiridion symbolorum, definitionum et declarationum de rebus fidei et morum".

Apart from the New testament course is taught by a literally who professor that believes Jesus was crucified because he was apart of a gay Jewish terrorist cell and makes retarded claims like the trinity isn't featured in the bible.
John Martin
His pet theories aren't in the Yale course, but I take your point. And the trinity isn't explicitly in the NT, though of course it's based on readings of the NT.

What bible do y'all rec?
I'm thinking about ordering the New American Revised.

Ignatius Bible which uses the RSVCE2

May not be quite what you're looking for, but I just read Jung's "Answer to Job" which gives a very interesting take on the 'evolution' of God in the Bible. It's given me a better (or at least a fresh) understanding of certain stories.

Depends on your denomination. If you're like me, then Douay-Rheims is the best way to go. Otherwise New American Revised is a safe bet
