I think the word forgeries is a bit harsh. Most scholars think the books of the Bible were accumulated and eventually written down based on oral tradition. The most unusual theory I have heard is that the Roman Empire's propaganda arm wrote the relevant texts as a way to control the growing Christian movement.
