Thomas L. Brodie, OP (1943-2026) was an Irish Dominican priest who was born in Crusheen, County Clare. He worked in academia and has published studies arguing that the New Testament narratives are literary compositions dependent on earlier texts. His 2012 memoir advances the claim that Jesus did not exist as a historical individual. In prior work he proposed a Proto-Luke hypothesis and argued that an early Luke Acts composition precedes Mark in the formation of the Gospels.
