If you want to know the reasons for their claims, you can always educate yourself. As far as biblical scholarship goes, the majority are believers...so, if you were going to worry about bias......
...let that sink in. A group of people very likely biased by their deeply held christian beliefs, have decided that scant little of paul is even -potentially- reliable, and that even within what we deem reliable, paul makes contortions of fact, and dubious claims.
They can say this, despite the fact that they have deeply held christian beliefs..because there's nothing in that which contradicts them. Just as I can say it. Your skepticism, in this regard, could only serve whatever superstitious or fanciful ideas you have about paul and the new testament. It's got nothin to do with jesus or god or your deeply held beliefs as a christian.
