2. A Wind In The House Of Islam
How God Is Drawing Muslims Around the World to Faith in Jesus Christ

3. Pietas From Vergil To Dryden
A study tracing the literary and cultural afterlife of the Roman virtue of pietas from its dense, narrative embodiment in Vergil through its reinterpretation in early modern England, arguing that shifts in political context, religious debates, and translation practices transformed pietas from a familial and civic duty into a versatile rhetorical resource for poets and critics; close readings of key passages and comparative analysis show how seventeenth-century writers reworked Vergilian models to negotiate questions of loyalty, conscience, and national identity, with particular attention to changes in tone, allegorical use, and the interplay between classical authority and contemporary moral discourse.
