Find out about what, exactly? Jesus' Hebrew name? I can't remember where I had heard about it. I just like reading about religion and it's mentioned every so often.
If you're talking about general "I didn't know that" stuff about Jesus and Christianity, there are quite a few places to look. One of the most interesting traditional archives is the Catholic Encyclopedia at
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/. I'm not Catholic myself, but I still find it a good read. Now that I look at it, there's an interesting essay on Jesus' name at
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08374x.htm. I also really like Cecil Adams'
http://www.straightdope.com, which is a general repository of knowledge, but if you look around a little you can find some pretty in-depth articles about the Bible and Christianity.
If what you're looking for is more along the lines of "stuff they don't want you to know," which the poster I originally quoted seems to have been into, I'd recommend doing a google search for "Christian quabalah" and "gnosticism." They're all about unusual mythology and ideas about Christianity. Personally, I don't hold them to be at all accurate, but they're quite fascinating topics nonetheless.
I'm sure there are a lot of good books on this kind of subject too if you look around at your local bookstore, but I can't think of any off-hand.
