- Jonah Winters. Communicative Interaction: Relating Habermasian Universalism to Baha'i Consultation (1996).

These theories are similar to the unique use by Bahá'ís of "consultation" as a tool for creating civil societies and nonrepressive moral codes.

- Jonah Winters. Martyrdom in Jihad (1997). Unlike Judeo-Christianity, Islam does not contain a core of martyrdom. Rather, it occurs in three disparate areas: war/jihad, asceticism, and Shi'ism. I examine the relationship between jihad and martyrdom and their classical and contemporary meanings.
- Jonah Winters. Origins of Shi'ism: A Consensus of Western Scholarship (1996). Shi'ism, representing about 10% of the umma, is often regarded as illegitimate by the majority Sunnis.
