4-MAT Book Review Assignment Instructions

Overview

The 4-MAT Review System derives from the social sciences and is a way of responding to readings, lectures, or experiences that requires the learner to interact with new ideas on multiple levels: cognitive, affective, experiential, and behavioral. In this assignment, you will compose a 4-MAT Book Review of Michael Bird's Four Views on the Apostle Paul. The assignment will enable you not only to grasp the key ideas of the book, but also to respond, reflect, and apply what you have learned to your own life and ministry.
