Many are saying that the prevailing paradigm of New Testament
origins is going nowhere. In its place, Brodie's stunning book
invites us to suspend all 'knowledge' we already have about the
history of the New Testament's development, and to be willing to
entertain the following thesis. Everything hinges on Proto-Luke, a
history of Jesus using the Elijah-Elisha narrative as its model,
which survives in 10 chapters of Luke and 15 of Acts. Mark then
uses Proto-Luke, transposing its Acts material back into the life
of Jesus. Matthew deuteronomizes Mark, John improves on the
discourses of Matthew. Luke-Acts spells out the story at length.
Add the Pauline corpus, the descendant of Deuteronomy via the
Matthean logia, and the New Testament is virtually complete. This
is a totalizing theory, an explanation of everything, and its
critics will be numerous. But even they will be hugely intrigued,
and have to admit that Brodie's myriads of challenging observations
about literary affinities demand an answer.
