In what ways does the story of John the Baptist and Jesus reflect Luke's special interest as a gospel writer?

A:
Of course the basic gsopel story of John the Baptist was first written in Mark's Gospel and then copied and elaborated by the authors of the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. The author of Luke added some extensive material about the birth of John to Zacherias and Elizabeth, although Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) says that both Zacharius and Elizabeth were literary creations by the author of Luke's Gospel. The Magnificat, a hymn sung by Mary in Luke 1:46-55 is actually a compilation of passages from various parts of the Old Testament.
The authors of both Matthew and Luke wrote nativity stories that are described as virtually irreconcilable. Luke's Gospel says that Jesus was born during the reign of Herod but then contradicts itself by saying that he was born during the census of Quirinius, taken ten years after Herod's death. Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says the best explanation is that, although Luke likes to set his Christian drama in the context of well known events from antiquity, sometimes he does so inaccurately.

Luke's Gospel says that John the Baptist was the cousin of Jesus, although the other gospel authors seem to have been unaware of this, even saying that John the Baptist did not know Jesus.John the Baptist was not the same person as the disciple John, who is usually credited with writing the Gospel of John. Moreover, John's Gospel was originally written anonymously and was only attributed to the apostle, whose name it now bears, later in the second century. Since John was actually written early in the second century by an unknown author, it was clearly not written by a relative of Jesus.
