Biblical Concept: Good News

Vocabulary

1. euvagge,lion / euaggelion / eu = good, aggelion = message, news = good-news / gospel

Where did gospel come from? “In Old English, it was translated as gōdspel (gōd "good" + spel "news".) The Old English term was retained as gospel in Middle English Bible translations and hence remains in use also in Modern English.”

Gospel is an inferior translation compared to good-news. Writers of the New Testament had never heard or used the word gospel. Retain the tradition if you wish. Just know it is good-news every time.

2. euvaggeli,zw / euaggelizo / eu = good, aggelizo = preach, bring or announce good-news / verbal form of good-news.

3. euvaggelisth,j / euaggelistes / eu = good, aggelistes = message = a good-messenger, evangelist

Where did evangelist come from? “From Old French evangeliste, from ecclesiastical Latin evangelista, from ecclesiastical Ancient Greek εὐαγγελιστής (euangelistes, "bringer of good news"), from εὐαγγελίζεσθαι ("to evangelize"), from εὐάγγελος (euangelos, "bringing good news"), from εὖ (eu, "well") + ἀγγέλλειν (angelein, "to announce").”

Writers of the New Testament had never heard or used the word evangelist. Retain the tradition if you wish. Just know it is good-messenger every time. (All three of them.)
