- Where will the seminar be held?This will be a Live seminar held using Zoom Webinars. Zoom Webinars are a bit different than typical Zoom meetings. You will not be on camera.

Inside of Zoom, you will also have the ability to ask questions in chat and converse with other attendees.
- What is Early-Bird Pricing?The event price is $49.95, and in fact, that will be the price to purchase the seminar recording after the event. However, we are offering the seminar at a $10 discount as an incentive to purchase early, which helps us get an early head count. Early-bird pricing ends Nov. 28th.
- Are any other discounts available?Yes, if you have attended one of Dr. Ehrman's other events, such as the "Did Jesus Call Himself God?" webinar, you should have received an additional discount code during the webinar or via email.
- Do you offer a money-back guarantee?Absolutely! If you don't love the seminar, send us an email and we will refund 100% of your investment. You will have 30 days from the date of the seminar.
