Beyond The Firmament by Gordon J. Glover
All of these were required reads for me as I pursued a biology degree at a Christian university. I hope these help, and I wish you the best! If you have any questions about any of the books, please feel free to ask!!
I can recommend a few. Mark Smith's The Early History of God is a good resource for early Canaanite mythology. For ancient Hebrew cosmology, Gordon Glover's Beyond the Firmament is a good introduction. Glover is a Christian, but he doesn't shy away from the real meaning of the text. Paul Seely (also a Christian) has some really good articles on ancient cosmology. Some of them are online here.
If you're struggling with evolution:
From the Christian perspective: Beyond the Firmament
Better evidential book by a non-christian: Why Evolution Is True
I think the best book about the Old Testament is by an archaeologist: The Bible Unearthed. It's written by a Jewish scholar who would be biased towards over claiming for reliability if anything.
Otherwise, wikipedia has a really good overview. Once you get through wikipedia, if you have questions on good resources for a particular part of it, post here and in /r/christianity or message me and we'll help you out on the specifics.
