I'm currently reading What the Buddha Thought, by Richard Gombrich. The author details quite a few convincing reasons to believe that many suttas have undergone relatively minor revisions.

Reminds me of the book with the catchy title:
"Buddhism is Not What You Think: Finding Freedom Beyond Beliefs" by Steve Hagen. Don't miss the puns (!). Just ordered it. Perhaps we can compare notes further down the line.
