The scene in the temple is recently one of the central plot points of the new documentary, Christspiracy. The movie as a whole is a little over-sensationalized in framing their views as some kind of grand church cover-up. But some of their arguments about archeological evidence and scriptural translation differences make for interesting food for thought.
Basically they argue that the temple at that time was a big slaughterhouse, and that the "thieves" Jesus whipped could more accurately be translated as "murderers".
