   note: it is probable that gospel is from. oe. godspel, god
         story, the narrative concerning god; but it was early
         confused with god spell, good story, good tidings, and
         was so used by the translators of the authorized
         version of scripture. this use has been retained in
         most cases in the revised version.

   salvation to man as preached by our lord and his followers. 2.
   it was afterwards transitively applied to each of the four
   histories of our lord's life, published by those who are
   therefore called 'evangelists', writers of the history of the
   gospel the evangelion. 3. the term is often used to express
   collectively the gospel doctrines; and 'preaching the gospel' is
   often used to include not only the proclaiming of the good
   tidings, but the teaching men how to avail themselves of the
   offer of salvation, the declaring of all the truths, precepts,
   promises, and threatenings of christianity." it is termed "the
   gospel of the grace of god" acts 20:24, "the gospel of the
