On page 153 of 'Did Jesus Exist?', Bart Ehrman claims that in Greek mythology, Alcmene gave birth to the immortal Zeus.

This is a rather basic error, unless Bart thinks Zeus was his own father.

Bart Ehrman on Judas in 'Did Jesus Exist?'

Bart Ehrman in his new book about mythicism writes on page 108 of 'Did Jesus Exist?' about the death of Judas.

It is astonishing that a scholar like Bart Ehrman can write what he did on page 108.
