The word &#8221; Gospel&#8221; comes from a Greek word <em>euangelion<\/em>, which literally means \u201cgood news.\u201d In the\u00a0New Testament, it refers to the announcement that Jesus has brought the reign of God to our world through his life, death, and resurrection from the dead.<\/p>\n<p>The Gospels share four features that make them unique amongst other biblical stories or contemporary biographical narratives. First, they expertly weave in\u00a0Old Testament\u00a0stories into the story of Jesus. Second, the stories are designed to make claims about the identity of Jesus. Third, they all present the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus as the climax of the entire biblical narrative. Finally, the chronology of events has been rearranged to better reveal unique aspects of Jesus\u2019 character.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To dive deeper into the Gospel narratives, watch <a href=\"https:\/\/bibleproject.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BibleProject&#8217;s<\/a> Gospel video series below.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"e-playlist-74fc985\">Gospel Series<\/h2>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/xrzq_X1NNaA\/maxresdefault.jpg\" alt=\"The Gospel\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\">The Gospel<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t5:47<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/HGHqu9-DtXk\/maxresdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Mark\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\">Mark<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t9:32<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/3Dv4-n6OYGI\/maxresdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Matthew - Part 1\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\">Matthew &#8211; Part 1<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t8:17<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/GGCF3OPWN14\/maxresdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Matthew - Part 2\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\">Matthew &#8211; Part 2<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t7:10<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/XIb_dCIxzr0\/maxresdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Luke - Part 1\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\">Luke &#8211; Part 1<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t8:16<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/26z_KhwNdD8\/maxresdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Luke - Part 2\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\">Luke &#8211; Part 2<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t7:48<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/G-2e9mMf7E8\/maxresdefault.jpg\" alt=\"John - Part 1\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\">John &#8211; Part 1<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t8:46<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/RUfh_wOsauk\/maxresdefault.jpg\" alt=\"John - Part 2\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\">John &#8211; Part 2<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t8:32<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a tabindex=\"0\">Video description<\/a><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tVideo description\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to read the Bible &#8211; The Gospel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The New Testament contains four ancient biographies of Jesus of Nazareth, and altogether they are called \u201cthe Gospel.\u201d Each one tells the story as an announcement of good news that the crucified and risen Jesus is the true ruler of the nations.
