Gospel (‘good news’). (1) The central content of the Christian revelation, the glad tidings of redemption. St
Paul's use of the word without explanation in writing to believers in
Rome whom he did not know suggests that the Christian sense was already current. (2) The title of the books in which the Christian Gospel is set forth. This usage may derive from the title line of Mk. (1: 1). As there can be only one Gospel, 2nd-cent. superscriptions called the Church's books ‘The Gospel
according to Matthew’, etc. The unique authority of Mt., Mk., Lk., and Jn. was becoming established in the second half of the 2nd cent. (3) The word is also used of the so-called
apocryphal Gospels written in the 2nd cent. and later outside the Church. They are clearly historically inferior to the canonical Gospels, whose authority they never seriously challenged in the Church.
