My article “A Nineteenth-Century Woman’s Manuscript Response to The Pilgrim’s Progress: Louisa Marian Waterman’s ‘The Pilgrim’s Progress, Versified in the Quaint Style of John Bunyan’” appears in the refereed journal Bunyan Studies (2017). I examine the construction of authority in one woman’s unique manuscript adaptation of Bunyan, including attention to gender.

In “The Parable of the Wedding Protest: Matthew 20.1-14 and Nonviolent Resistance,” I draw on liberation theology and post-colonial theory to create a fresh reading of a Matthean parable, promoting nonviolent resistance to oppression instead of endorsing coercive violence toward the religious other. The essay is forthcoming as a chapter in a collection on religions and the (de)legitimization of violence edited by Muhhamad Shafiq.
