  3. Overview Of The Gospels • “Gospel” means “Good News” from the Greek word ευαγγέλιον (evangelion) (ευ=“good”; αγγέλιον=“news” or “message”). • From that we get the words “evangelical” (someone focused on the good news) and “evangelist” (proclaimer of the good news). The authors of the four Gospel writings are also called the Evangelists. • Dates: • Mark 55-65 A.D. • Matthew 58-68 A.D. • Luke 60-85 A.D. • John 85 A.D. • The Gospel (not Gospels)according to Sts. Matthew, Mark and Luke are called the Synoptic Gospels because they share a common (“syn”) viewpoint (“optic”). • They are similar to each other. The Gospel according to St. John is quite different.
