   Gospel \Gos"pel\, a.
      Accordant with, or relating to, the gospel; evangelical; as,

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Gospel \Gos"pel\, n. [OE. gospel, godspel, AS. godspell; god God
      + spell story, tale. See {God}, and {Spell}, v.]
      1. Glad tidings; especially, the good news concerning Christ,
            the Kingdom of God, and salvation.
  
                     And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their
                     synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom.
                                                                              --Matt. iv.

                     The steadfast belief of the promises of the gospel.
                                                                              --Bentley.
  
      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.
  
                        Thus the literal sense [of gospel] is the
                        [bd]narrative of God,[b8] i. e., the life of
                        Christ.                                          --Skeat.
  
      2. One of the four narratives of the life and death of Jesus
            Christ, written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
  
      3. A selection from one of the gospels, for use in a
            religious service; as, the gospel for the day.
  
      4. Any system of religious doctrine; sometimes, any system of
            political doctrine or social philosophy; as, this
            political gospel. --Burke.
  
      5. Anything propounded or accepted as infallibly true; as,
            they took his words for gospel. [Colloq.]
  
                     If any one thinks this expression hyperbolical, I
                     shall only ask him to read [OE]dipus, instead of
                     taking the traditional witticisms about Lee for
                     gospel.                                             --Saintsbury.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Gospel
      a word of Anglo-Saxon origin, and meaning "God's spell", i.e.,
      word of God, or rather, according to others, "good spell", i.e.,
      good news. It is the rendering of the Greek _evangelion_, i.e.,
      "good message." It denotes (1) "the welcome intelligence of
      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
      kingdom" (Matt. 4:23), "the gospel of Christ" (Rom. 1:16), "the
      gospel of peace (Eph. 6:15), "the glorious gospel," "the
      everlasting gospel," "the gospel of salvation" (Eph. 1:13).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Gospels
      The central fact of Christian preaching was the intelligence
      that the Saviour had come into the world (Matt. 4:23; Rom.
      10:15); and the first Christian preachers who called their
      account of the person and mission of Christ by the term
      _evangelion_ (= good message) were called _evangelistai_ (=
      evangelists) (Eph. 4:11; Acts 21:8).
     
         There are four historical accounts of the person and work of
      Christ: "the first by Matthew, announcing the Redeemer as the
      promised King of the kingdom of God; the second by Mark,
      declaring him 'a prophet, mighty in deed and word'; the third by
      Luke, of whom it might be said that he represents Christ in the
      special character of the Saviour of sinners (Luke 7:36; 15:18);
      the fourth by John, who represents Christ as the Son of God, in
      whom deity and humanity become one. The ancient Church gave to
      Matthew the symbol of the lion, to Mark that of a man, to Luke
      that of the ox, and to John that of the eagle: these were the
      four faces of the cherubim" (Ezek. 1:10).
     
         Date. The Gospels were all composed during the latter part of
      the first century, and there is distinct historical evidence to
      show that they were used and accepted as authentic before the
      end of the second century.
     
         Mutual relation. "If the extent of all the coincidences be
      represented by 100, their proportionate distribution will be:
      Matthew, Mark, and Luke, 53; Matthew and Luke, 21; Matthew and
      Mark, 20; Mark and Luke, 6. Looking only at the general result,
      it may be said that of the contents of the synoptic Gospels
      [i.e., the first three Gospels] about two-fifths are common to
      the three, and that the parts peculiar to one or other of them
      are little more than one-third of the whole."
     
         Origin. Did the evangelists copy from one another? The opinion
      is well founded that the Gospels were published by the apostles
      orally before they were committed to writing, and that each had
      an independent origin. (See MATTHEW, GOSPEL {OF}.)
