Religions of the Ancient Mediterranean is home to Philip A. Harland (Associate Professor, York University, Toronto) and his work: podcast, websites, blog, and publications, providing an entryway into social and religious life among Greeks, Romans, Jews, Christians, and others in the Roman empire. I am currently working my way through Series 1: Paul and his communities.

A good series on the early history of Christianity by looking at the Pauline writings, approached from a strictly historical perspective with no bias toward belief or unbelief.
