This is really a strange question. I have a library full of books, commentaries and Greek and Hebrew tools. If that is not enough, I either buy more, or go to my Seminary library and get 4 or 5 viewpoints there.
If there is a topic I would really like more info on, and it cannot be found, maybe it is time for me to write a book on it?
What exactly are you hinting at here?

I apologize for not correctly answering the OP, but reading this brought something to mind.
In Matthew 12 we see that Jesus healed a man's hand, and did so on the Sabbath. The Pharisees were not in awe of Jesus' divine power but rather they were incensed that Jesus healed on the Sabbath. How can it be that people stood in the presence of God and cursed Him after performing a miracle? I can't grasp their blinding, hateful stupidity. I'd love to read a book about it.

Whatever resources the Holy Spirit deems fit to send me to for understanding when it comes to the topic's He is ready to reveal and lead me in !!!
As I don't rely on resources unless the Holy Spirit guides me to them first, and He has guided me to a number all ready.
For He as lead me in the teachings and warnings from Paul, and now He is working on prophecy study in my life.......

The gifts of healing. The difference between praying for someone to be healed in Jesus' name because of what he accomplished at the cross and someone operating in the gift of healing. What is the operative difference, how do they operate differently? How do you actually use the gift of healing if you have it?

1. Mystery doctrine.
Most believers are clueless to mystery doctrine and it is the pre-designed plan God has for each and every believer in the Church.
King James Bible
If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
New American Standard Bible
that by revelation there was made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief.

It may be because Jesus wasn't the only person with a reputation for miracle working. Honi the Circle Drawer lived during the 1st century BC and had a reputation for miracles. Hanina ben Dosa, roughly contemporary with Jesus, also had a reputation for miracle working.
Jesus wasn't the only one with a reputation for miracle working. Maybe that's one reason some people just weren't impressed?

Magic. No, seriously! Pharaoh's men made the Nile turn into blood too. How? They also had their staffs turn into snakes. How? And that slave girl in Acts 16 knew the truth about Paul and the gang, even if they got tired of her shouting it nonstop. How? There are stories of magic happening in the Bible apart from God, and I'd really like to know what's up with that? I don't think it's smoke and mirrors.
And somehow this is related too. That serpent in the garden of Eden? The word for what he was called is directly related to the Old Hebrew word for magic. I don't think he was a snake. I don't think he was because there is no such thing as a legged snake, (there is one legless lizard, but that's not a snake or serpent), yet he had legs before God cursed him.
Which is also related to the next thing I'd like to know. Satan/serpent/Morningstar/Lucifer. Not at all sure that's the same being. The instances of the words Morningstar and Lucifer being used are really vague. I'd like the scoop on that one.
Whoops! And as I went back to proof what I wrote, I noticed you said the NT. Sorry about that. I tend to take the Bible as a whole, so everything I'm curious about doesn't necessarily just stick to the NT.
