By the way, as much as Ehrman has become the posterboy for the historists, he is not a historian but a theologian. His doctorate is in "divinity".
As far as I'm concerned, his doctorate may as well be in voodoo magic.
But he is clearly an expert in the Bible. I'm always happy to read his research on the development of scripture and the history of Christianity. But when it comes to "refuting" the mythicists, all he seems to be able to say (paraphrased for brevity) is STOOOPID MYTHERZZZZ!
I've read one book of his, Misquoting Jesus, and I learnt a bit on the subject. And that book was in itself a refutation of sorts for the mythicists.
