Wilkinson's "The Seven Laws of the Learner"

Paper Summary:

This paper examines each of the seven laws in Dr. Bruce Wilkinson's "The Seven Laws of the Learner", including comments on the mindset and the teaching method. The author points out that Dr. Wilkinson's message is that, first and foremost, the teaching process is an active exchange of information and emotion, which will translate into transformation within the lives of students. The paper states that the principles of this book are not limited to the Christian realm; school teachers in both a secular and sacred context can benefit from the straightforward message and diagrams, which fill this book.

From the Paper:

"Dr. Wilkinson tells many stories which arise from his ministry as anecdotes to the message. The first, his dedication, retells his first experience with Dr. Howard Hendricks. Dr. Wilkinson says that Hendricks inspired him because of his skills as a communicator, but also his character, and the content of his messages. The Christian teacher is double endowed with responsibility, and perhaps this is the reason for James' warning "1Be not many of you teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive heavier judgment" (James 3.1) The Christian teacher is responsible for the message of his words, and the message of his life. When these two messages tell the same story, the messenger can come alive with God's truth, and be ignited by the Holy Spirit as he teachers."
