Kwok Pui Lan adalah seorang perempuan Cina yang dibesarkan di Hongkong.^[1] 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.^[1] Sekarang ia mengajar di Cambridge, Amerika Serikat.^[1] 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.^[2] Ia bersama perempuan Cina lainnya hidup di dalam tepian sejara dan gereja.^[2] Meskipun demikian, Pui Lan melihat tepian sebagai titik berangkat ideal dalam berteologi feminis post-kolonial.^[2] Ia melihat tepian secara positif sebagai tempat mengawali perlawanan.^[2] Tepian menjahukannya dari pengaruh negatif teologi yang dikerjakan kelas menengah Barat yang erosentrik.^[2]

Sedangkan pemikirannya mengenai teologi agama-agama disebut olehnya sebagai teologi post-kolonial tentang perbedaan agama.^[3] 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.^[3] Pengaruh dan perubahan besar tersebut meliputi semua aspek kehidupan, termasuk aspek religius.^[3]
