Lionel North KAINA KAIITAAAIA: An Account of the British Seminar on the Use of the Old Testament in the New Testament 278 Index of References 282 Index of Authors 298 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.
