A hypocrite says one thing but means something else. He pretends to do one thing but intends to do another. He is play-acting, dissembling. He is hiding his real face under a mask.

William Hendriksen

William Hendriksen (1900–1982) war ein US-amerikanischer reformierter Pastor und Theologieprofessor niederländischer Herkunft. Er wurde vor allem durch seine umfangreiche neutestamentliche Kommentarreihe sowie sein Werk „More Than Conquerors“ bekannt, in dem er die Offenbarung des Johannes nach dem Modell des progressiven Parallelismus auslegte. Für heutige Bibelleser bietet sein Werk eine sprachlich fundierte Schriftauslegung an den biblischen Grundtexten, die konfessionell reformierte Dogmatik mit praktischer Anwendung verbindet.
