Abstract
"In honouring the memory of Byang Kato through these lectures, one particular characteristic of the man that is worthy of special notice was his intention both to speak for and to live out, within his African context, the biblical summons to a discipleship of the mind. Kato was committed to a faith that has become mature and effective not least because it is intellectually engaged within its context. One consequence of this commitment was that Kato was, among other things, the first African evangelical to attempt to engage the theological issues of modern Africa’s intellectual life. I wish to suggest that Kato’s example in this respect constitutes a challenge in our day, especially to those of us engaged in theological education in Africa, a challenge that has yet to be fully addressed."
