Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Editor’s note: The author’s dissertation, from which this article is excerpted, focuses on the contextualization of the Christian gospel among Albanian Muslims. Contextualization may be defined as “clothing” the gospel in ways that make the Christian faith understandable in a given culture. In 1995 The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (CBF) commissioned Richard William Shaw and his wife, Martha, as International Coordinators for Albanians, “with the task of making disciples and planting churches among Albanian diaspora populations.” Following language study in Tirana, Albania, the Shaws and their children moved to Skopje, Macedonia, where they studied the Macedonian language and began to minister among the large Albanian minority in the Macedonian capital. The Shaws organized an Albanian-language Baptist church in Skopje and later a second church in Rahovec, Kosova.
