I would not believe in the Gospel, if the authority of the Catholic Church did not move me to do so.

For you, what is the Gospel?

“For you, what is the Gospel?”

Do tell us oh Pope of the Internet, for you, what is the Gospel?

[D-fendr]

Gospel can describe an account of the life of Jesus. Gospel is also defined as the word that comes out of the mouth of God. It also describes the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. It can also mean, simply, “good news.”

There is a strong minimalist, almost zen, drive among some nonCatholics and many buzzwords, like secret handshakes. “Gospel” is one of these.

The simplest reduction of the question: “What is the Gospel?” is:

“Jesus Christ.”

I shouldn’t leave out our Dispensationalist friends. For them “gospel” is an even more loaded question. Christ’s ministry is not really taken seriously as, for them, Paul has a different “gospel” they sometimes refer to as the Gospel of Grace (codeword again), meaning what Paul taught in scripture as opposed to what Christ taught in His ministry.

My, what has been done to the simple word: Gospel?

For you, what is the Gospel?

The written record of the words and deeds of the Incarnate Jesus; his teachings and commands to us. What is it to you?
