Bart Ehrman is good for this too.

To add to this, I personally recommend "Did Jesus Exist" as the Dr. Ehrman follow up.

It has the same vibe as Dr. McClellan's book while also being an incredibly useful popular academic book. Just as accessible and covers the second most important part of Christianity to understand, the origin as opposed to the current discourse.

"How Jesus became God" being a natural progression.
