I don't think its that so much. More like he has been hanging around with too many theologians for too long and has bought into this bullshit that "real scholars" do not doubt the godboy tale. He wants to maintain his membership in the club.
The problem there, as J. D. Crossan has said, is that there is an embarrassment of jesuses because scholars cannot agree on the bullshit. Ehrman comes up with an apocalyptic prophet. Well.... he sure fucked that up!
