Ehrman is an ex-Christian as well as former divinity student. His doctorate is in divinity. Currently, his field of study is not history but theology. He certainly had a lot of emotional investment in Christianity to go all the way to a doctorate.
Then again, it might just be that writing books about Jesus is lucrative. If he were to take the side of the mythers, what the hell would he publish books about in the future?
