Gospel - online puzzles

Gospel is the Old English translation of Greek εὐαγγέλιον, evangelion, meaning "good news ". It originally meant the Christian message itself, but in the 2nd century it came to be used for the books in which the message was set out.

The four gospels of the New Testament — Matthew, Mark, Luke and John — are the main source of information on the life of Jesus. For various reasons modern scholars are cautious of relying on them uncritically, but nevertheless they do provide a good idea of the public career of Jesus, and critical study can attempt to distinguish the original ideas of Jesus from those of the later authors.
