The gospel

The gospel or good news is a theological concept in several religions. In the historical Roman imperial cult and in Christianity, the gospel is a message about salvation by a divine figure, a savior, who has brought peace or other benefits to humankind. In Ancient Greek religion, the word designated a type of sacrifice or ritual dedication intended to thank the gods upon receiving good news. The Koine Greek word behind it, euangelion, originally meant the reward paid to a messenger who brought good tidings, and in the plural a thanks-offering made to the gods on receiving them. It reaches English through Old English gōdspel, "good news", by way of the Vulgate evangelium.
