My favorite wizard/druid series ever is The Pendragon Cycle by: Stephen Lawhead here is a link to the first one --

Also look into this series, which includes sourcing essays in the back of each book detailing the mythic origin of each plot point, which makes it an amazing, in-depth introduction to British folklore. Also the first book in the series is possibly my favorite book of all time.

My suggestions don't really explain the Bible, but they are thought-provoking and fascinating if you like science.

Creation and Time

Beyond the Cosmos (I found this book really interesting.)

The Creator and the Cosmos

The Fingerprint of God

These are all by the same guy, and I really enjoyed them a great deal, so I fully recommend them to you.

I also enjoy Christian fantasy books, for example:

The Dragon King Trilogy: In the Hall of the Dragon King

The Warlords of Nin

The Sword and the Flame

The Pendragon Cycle: Taliesin

Merlin

Arthur

Pendragon

Grail

To be honest, I haven't read the last two, they weren't out yet when I read these books.

I also recommend some classics like Lilith by George MacDonald.

The Case for Christ

Anyway, that's all I can think of at this time. If I think of anything else, I'll update this list.

In addition to the excellent recommendations already given (Particularly Malory!), I would recommend Stephen Lawhead's Pendragon Cycle, starting with Taliesin. They're not really the classic stories, and only vaguely coincide with actual history, but they're a fascinating take on the mythos.

My first take on the story of Arthur was (The Sword and the Circle)[https://www.amazon.com/Sword-Circle-Arthur-Knights-Round/dp/0140371494/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=QFY46WBNPPC43B2KVRSQ] by Rosemary Sutcliff. I remember it being "kid friendly" in that it was written for younger readers, but certainly not "kiddified"--the violence and incest and all that is still present, just not hyper-focused on More of a traditional retelling.
