The Anglican Tradition from a Post Colonial Perspective by Kwok Pui-Lan

Through this lens, Kwok analyzes Anglican theology and history to advocate for decolonization, looking particularly at controversial subjects that originate from Anglicanism’s history of colonialism—including Christianity and the social order, economic justice, gender and sexuality, women’s leadership, worship, and the mission of the Church in a world of diverse religions.

Kwok Pui-lan is Dean’s Professor of Systematic Theology at Candler School of Theology, Emory University, and a past president of the American Academy of Religion. An internationally known theologian, she is a pioneer of Asian and Asian American feminist theology and postcolonial theology. An author or editor of numerous books, she is the coeditor of Beyond Colonial Anglicanism and Anglican Women on Church and Mission. She received the Lanfranc Award for Education and Scholarship from the Archbishop of Canterbury in 2021.
