Religious studies professors study religion--not faith. And they remain quite ignorant about or simply ignore history.

This is the case of a guy who was very religious, but lost it after extensive study of history. I always thought it was pretty sad if you base your faith on the infallibility of book written by humans. He probably grew up under inerrantists and lost it all when he found out that wasn't true.

That's what I see from the article as well.

He says as much in the introduction to Misquoting Jesus.
