Ehrman is not the central authority for critical scholarship - far from it!
He's about the foremost historical critical scholar of early xtian texts going.
He should stick to that field instead of trying to find a "historical jesus" but he knows his shit when it comes to the documents themselves. He is not out on his own there. He is speaking of the culmination of 300 years of study....which you'd know if you read the book.
I have an electronic version of it if you'd like to PM an email address.
