| Summary: | Abstract This article attempts to investigate the contribution of the African evangelical theologian and church leader Byang H.

This article aims to demonstrate that, rather than reiterating a specific American or western concept of theology, Kato’s soteriology should be read as a contextual evangelical response to the ongoing theological debates of his time. |
