We filmed distinguished biblical scholars & theologians teaching & interacting with deeply engaged participants. Themes considered ranged from Apologetics to Martin Luther, from Spiritual Formation to Medical Ethics, from The Divine Conspiracy to Faith & Science. The courses varied from 5-day intensives to a 2-hour seminar. There were lectures and Q&A sessions. We edited the footage, transcribed the lectures & interactions, and integrated all of it in synchronized form to present to you about 120 thought-provoking hours of genuine insight. Faith seeking understanding, discovering wisdom. That’s our hope, in creating e4. Three courses are free, and the rest cost US$5 or less.

At this point I am out $4.99 with nothing to show for it. ### 5/5 — Thank you *2019-11-23, version 2.0* Thank you so much for these teachings. Do you have other apps? Great job. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2019-02-23, version 2.0* Thank you for providing teaching from Dallas Willard! Please keep this app maintained if at all possible. Thanks so much. J.N. Vanc, WA ### 2/5 — Unclear Description *2012-08-26, version 1.04* I would say this borders on false advertising. I saw the app, read the descriptions, and got pretty excited about the content. Much to my surprise, there is NO free content. The app is free, but unless you pay for each and every session, there is absolutely no content to the app. This was quite frustrating, and I plan to delete it right away. I am sure the content is top notch, and I don't have a problem with the content being available for a charge. Just don't call the app FREE and then mention nothing about the fact that you have to by all the content of the app to get any use out of it. ### 5/5 — e4 Fantastic Theological Content In A Portable Format *2012-02-25, version 1.01* This app features a series of in-app purchases that enable the user to be able to learn from some of the most influential and thoughtful theologians and religious scholars of the modern era. Each module is reasonably priced as they contain several hours of video content of teachers like Dallas Willard, Rick Warren, Andy Stanley, Alister McGrath, Graham Tomlin, Gordon Pennington, and many others. As an example, for $4.99, a user can purchase 19 hours of lectures from Dallas Willard sharing thoughts about spiritual formation, the nature of truth and a number of other subjects. The app allows users to switch from watching video to reading while listening to a transcription of the lecture, and even has a feature which allows quotes to be tweeted directly from the app with the hashtag #e4app. The lectures are divided into individual sessions of approximately one hour each so one does not need to download the entirety of the content at once, but can enjoy the lectures within a course section by section. Overall, I highly recommend this app for its quality of content and its extremely affordable and portable platform. ### 1/5 — Nothing free about this app *2012-02-07* This app is not free, there is no mention of in app purchase, to purchase videos it adds up to around $40 dollars. Very expensive for a free app.... At least tell us it is in app purchase so we won't waste our time and data. ## Frequently asked questions about e4 ### What is e4? e4 offers a collection of in-depth courses taught by distinguished biblical scholars and theologians.
