New Testament Commentary by William Hendriksen
In 1994 Peter Shor 65] published a factoring algorithm for a quantum computer that finds the prime factors of a composite integer N more efficiently than is possible with the known algorithms for a classical com- puter. Since the difficulty of the factoring problem is crucial for the se- curity of a public key encryption system, interest (and funding) in quan- tum computing and quantum computation suddenly blossomed. Quan- tum computing had arrived. The study of the role of quantum mechanics in the theory of computa- tion seems to have begun in the early 1980s with the publications of Paul Benioff 6]' 7] who considered a quantum mechanical model of computers and the computation process. A related question was discussed shortly thereafter by Richard Feynman 35] who began from a different perspec- tive by asking what kind of computer should be used to simulate physics. His analysis led him to the belief that with a suitable class of quantum machines one could imitate any quantum system.
Hendriksen, William: - William Hendriksen was born in Tiel, Gelderland, in the Netherlands in November 1900, but his family moved to Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1911. He studied at Calvin College and Calvin Theological Seminary before obtaining an S.T.D. degree from Pike's Peak Bible Seminary, as was common for on-the-job pastors seeking doctorates in the 1930s and 1940s. It is there that he wrote the thesis on the Book of Revelation More than Conquerors, which became Baker Book House's first publication in 1940. Hendriksen served as a minister in the Christian Reformed Church, with a period (1942-1952) as Professor of New Testament at Calvin Theological Seminary. He started the New Testament Commentary, and completed commentaries on half of the New Testament books before his death in 1982.
