Bart Ehrman recently blogged<\/a> about the fact that he typically receives at least $5,000 for a speaking engagement, and an extra $1,000 per additional lecture at the same event.<\/p>\nAnd so that is a minimum of $6,000 for a two-lecture event.<\/p>\n
Daniel Gulotta shared the program from an event at which Bart was giving two\u00a0lectures. Both\u00a0are in the form of questions, and both questions have one-word answers \u2013 the first one is \u201cno\u201d and the second is \u201cnothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
$3,000 (or perhaps more) per word \u2013 that\u2019s a pretty good rate of pay! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
