Thomas Nelson's KJV Study Bible has a lot of historical context and archeological findings. Its theology is mainstream Protestant.
Personally I like the Orthodox Study Bible but its notes are mostly Orthodox patristic theology, might not be what you're looking for.

In my humble opinion, his reaction to Lutheranism, his attacks on so-called "rationality" and on systematic theology and his focus on a personal relationship with God mirror a lot of things I've come to experience in Eastern Orthodoxy.

I used to be an avid student of magick and western occultism. Whether it's 3000 years old or from the 20th century, it's all intellectual masturbation. If after years of studying you do actually manage to experience the supernatural like I have done, it will be demons taking you for a fool (which I was for even getting that far). God does not hide Truth in schizo-tier books, his Church is alive and well, and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it. True spirituality is found in Scriptures, the Holy Church, prayer and fasting.
That being said, I did enjoy Joseph Campbell's The Hero With a Thousand Faces and would still recommend it. You might also like The Cloud of Unknowing.
