I have just finished Forged: Writing in the Name of God--Why the Bible's Authors Are Not Who We Think They Are by Bart D Ehrman and Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why by the same author. In my opinion those books along with Jesus Interrupted should be on must read list of everybody.
Because Ehrman explains in layman's language what "higher critical" biblical scholarship has discovered in the past two centuries about the New Testament. Also in Misquoting Jesus Ehrman makes the case well that the "proto-orthodox" Christians added verses and altered others in their efforts to combat rival sects of Christianity (such as the Gnostics).
