Been updated with the Robert Morrison Project. They have a bunch of translation projects to translate Christian books into Chinese. There are a bunch of other sources but not legally translated material.

PCA Historical Center has a record of publications from the 1800s to today. Some of the periodicals are scanned and are still quite an enjoyable read. Others are long and tedious. If you have time to sift around, there’s a wealth of information. One of the periodicals I ran across is the Southern Presbyterian Review. They have quite a list of articles that they were able to scan.
Go and pick up an article to read.

Ferguson, Everett; Backgrounds of Early Christianity – very good book with historical, political, social religious, other aspects of the intertestamental period and early christianity. parallels very well. ***
Blomberg, Craig; Jesus and the Gospels – a good overview of the Gospels. The first few portions about history, politics and society is same as Ferguson, but the gospels reveal a lot of Jesus, his ministry, critiques, theologies, history, culture, etc. ****
