Stilla,
You're right, this is a fantastic book. His newest book 'Gods Problem' is great as well.Just started reading it. The full title is:
God's Problem: How the Bible Fails to Answer Our Most Important Question--Why We Suffer
He's taken up the mantle from Elaine Pagels. He's well researched and all his books are highly readable.

This an excellent, highly readable, book. In it Ehrman considers the question of theodicy - the question of why there is so much evil and suffering in the word, a world supposedy created by an all-powerful and all-benevolent God. In God'sProblem, Ehrman analyzes the various "answers" provided in the scriptures - both Hebrew and Christian writings. He shows how the Bible contains different and conflicting responses to the issue of theodicy. I bought this book in a bookstore several months ago and read it. It remains on my bedside table. I highly recommend it.
