• Source: Kwok Pui Lan

Kwok Pui Lan adalah seorang perempuan Cina yang dibesarkan di Hongkong. Ia adalah seorang teolog feminis dan teolog agama-agama di Asia. Ia juga merupakan anggota Gereja Anglikan dan memperoleh pendidikan teologinya di Hongkong dan Amerika Serikat. Sekarang ia mengajar di Cambridge, Amerika Serikat. Ia aktif dalam dunia feminis dan menjadi teolog feminis di negaranya. Pemikiran-pemikiran teologisnya ia gunakan dalam pendekatan post-kolonial. Kwok Pui Lan memulai teologi feminis post-kolonialnya dengan melukis ulang identitasnya sebagai perempuan Kristen Tionghoa. Ia bersama perempuan Cina lainnya hidup di dalam tepian sejara dan gereja. Meskipun demikian, Pui Lan melihat tepian sebagai titik berangkat ideal dalam berteologi feminis post-kolonial. Ia melihat tepian secara positif sebagai tempat mengawali perlawanan. Tepian menjahukannya dari pengaruh negatif teologi yang dikerjakan kelas menengah Barat yang erosentrik.
Sedangkan pemikirannya mengenai teologi agama-agama disebut olehnya sebagai teologi post-kolonial tentang perbedaan agama. Sesuai dengan nama post-kolonial yang dipakainya, Pui-lan memulai teologinya dengan menganalisis secara post-kolonial terhadap cara pandang kekristenan terhadap tradisi-tradisi religius yang lain selama ini, khususnya pada periode menguatnya kolonialisme politik Barat yang membawa pengaruh dan perubahan besar pada dunia, baik dunia Barat sendiri maupun dunia Timur yang dikuasai. Pengaruh dan perubahan besar tersebut meliputi semua aspek kehidupan, termasuk aspek religius.
