The authorship of some of the Biblical documents is highly relevant to what we make of the infancy narratives. For example, if Matthew authored the gospel attributed to him, then that gospel's infancy material was written by somebody who was in a good position to have reliable information on Jesus' childhood. He knew Jesus well, had met Jesus' mother and brothers, etc.
Here's an index that links many of Triablogue's articles on issues related to Biblical authorship.
