For a great, balanced intro comparison on Mormonism and classical Christianity, read Robinson and Blomberg's How Wide the Divide?. Both are NT scholars. they touch on the issues of Scripture, God's nature, Godhead, and salvation.

HarperCollins Study Bible is great. It's put together by various scholars from the Society of Biblical Literature.

I'm reading Brueggmann, et al's Theological Introduction to the Old Testament right now.

All of the above are for novices.
Most of that is very basic, do you really think we should start there?

Blomberg is a literary critic, not an NT scholar I thought, like Ehrman or David Parker out of England.

Do you like Mark Goodacre for the NT and Q theories?
