Because Luke places Elizabeth in Jerusalem, Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) says it is altogether impossible to understand why Joseph did not arrange things so that when "the time came for her to be delivered" she could stay with her cousin and give birth to her son there, rather than travel onwards to Bethlehem where she knew no one and could not even find accommodation. Ranke-Heinemann agrees with the scholarly consensus that Luke's account is not historical and adds that presumably Elizabeth was herself a creature of legend. This view contradicts Luke's story of Elizabeth in Jerusalem.
