I haven't read the book but I had seen Ehrman's previous attempt at defending an HJ concept in Jesus Interrupted and it was far from convincing. When he had to resort to trotting out Josephus I knew he had jumped the shark.
What to me is almost as bad is that he claims Tacitus is valid extra biblical evidence for Jesus. What I don't understand is why almost nobody recognizes his obvious bias. And why he goes after soft targets like Acharya S (DM Murdock) when trashing mythicists.
