Summary:

It has long been recognized that the Greek of the Lukan infancy narrative (chapters 1GÇô2) displays numerous Semitic features.Although the majority of recent scholarship assumes that such features stem from an imitation of the Septuagint (imitation theory), the issue has not been settled satisfactorily. Others argue that Luke probably relied on a written source for the infancy narrativeGÇöor at least for some parts of itGÇöand that this source material was composed in imitation of the Septuagint. Luke was not, however, merely the reviser or compiler of his source; rather, he rewrote the source
