Bart Ehrman and many others write off the Gospels because of a theory they have developed that the Gospels are anonymous and not written by the claimed authors in the Gospels. The theory can be summarized like this: The four gospels originally were published without any titles or identifying markers for authorship. The gospels were then circulated for a century before anyone decided to give them any authorship. Then they were forged to deceive people into believing the authors were followers of Jesus, this happening after all of them were dead. Lastly, they were not written by any eyewitnesses of Jesus and the Disciples.
