PREFACE
This collection of essays marks the retirement of Lionel North from his
position as New Testament lecturer at Hull University (1980-99) and
his seventeen-year chairmanship of 'The Use of the Old Testament in
the New Testament' seminar, held latterly in Hawarden, North Wales.
Its production involved a little subterfuge, as Lionel was under the
impression that we were producing a set of essays in celebration of the
seminar. It was on that basis that he agreed to write a short history of it,
which appears as an epilogue to this volume. In that piece, Lionel charts
the origins of the seminar, first as an interest group of the Studiorum
Novi Testament! Societas (SNTS), and then as a separate annual
meeting under the leadership of Anthony Hanson and Max Wilcox. The
contributors to this volume are all or have been members of the seminar
and wish to register their thanks for the friendly and stimulating way
that Lionel has led it. In lexical and text-critical matters, Lionel's
expertise is formidable. As chair of the seminar, he ensured that
rigorous debate was always constructive and conducted with courtesy.
Many of us can point to articles and monographs that were first given
an airing at the seminar and emerged in published form all the better for
it. Unfortunately, not all who would have liked to contribute to this
volume were able to do so. In particular, Max Wilcox joins us in
wishing Lionel (and Wendy) a happy retirement.
Steve Moyise
