:''Not to be confused with [[the Gospels]]''

In biblical mythology, '''The Gospel''' is the good news of Jesus Christ—namely His [[Atonement|atoning]] death for mankind's sins, burial, and bodily resurrection from the dead.  This is differentiated from [[Gospel|the gospels]] ''plural'', which are the first four books of the Christian [[New Testament]] (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John).  The word "gospel" literally means "good news" and originally comes from the Greek word εὐαγγέλιον, transliterated ''euaggelion''.  The New Testament describes both the ''gospel of the kingdom'' and the ''gospel of salvation''.  The former refers to the good news that God's Kingdom is entering the world and supplanting the forces of darkness (e.g. Mt. 4:23; 9:35; 24:13; Mk. 1:14).  The latter refers to the good news that Jesus Christ has opened the way of salvation for all men through His atoning death, burial, and resurrection (e.g. Acts 15:7; 20:24; Rm. 1:16; 16:25; 1 Cor. 15:1–4).  In common Christian parlance, especially within [[evangelicalism]], the latter meaning of "gospel" is what is most often intended.
