Luke.  (s)he has a clear grasp of history, and (forgive me, useful) is not as tainted with gnosticism as the document we know as the Gospel of John.

It's curious, Ringo.  I have to wonder if Luke's experience as a physician led him to a more visceral rejection of the Gnostic heresy.  (Before it really coalesced, of course...though the concepts have always been with us and still are...)

BO,

The synoptic Gospels are generally regarded as...

Matthew -- a Gospel for the House of Israel

Mark --  a Gospel for the Roman world

Luke --  a Gospel for the Greek world

The idea being that each, without seriously contradicting the other, had a different emphasis and tone for a different audience.
