like what?

I'm more interested in recent books - there's been a comparitively large revolution in biblical studies in the past two decades, such that the newer books tend to be much better.

I rather enjoyed Robert Funk's "Honest to Jesus", and his hermeneutic analysis of what in the gospels might actually be from the yeshuah era (20 to 40 AD) and what was provably added later or taken from earlier documents.
