Well, I haven't read the book itself, but the argument that you say has presented itself in it is a quite likely explanation for the Jesus story. However, I think that there is a pretty big leap between the proposition that "many of the aspects of the Jesus story were ripped off wholesale from earlier mythologies" and "Jesus of Nazareth never existed." I admit that I am inclined to believe that there really was a rabbi in Bethlehem/Nazareth (if it even existed, even if only as a small town that had little prominence for several centuries)/Galilee who preached many of the same things Jesus is said to have taught during the reign of Tiberius. At least that is within the realm of plausibility.
I have looked online, and found no information on Ken Humphreys' credentials, besides being the author of that book being discussed.
