What does it mean that the book of Mark is called a gospel in the Bible?

In his epistles, Paul spoke of the gospel that he taught, meaning the "good news" about Jesus. Later, when Mark wrote more good news about Jesus, it was natural to call this a gospel as well. Eventually, the word 'gospel' came to mean a genre of scriptural writing.

∙ 8y agoThe word gospel comes from the Anglo saxon 'god-spell' or good tidings or good message.
In the New Testament it is used of the revelation of God's plan to reconcile man to Himself by forgiving sin and by transforming man's character. The Gospels are the stories of God's gift of salvation through the death of Jesus Christ. This is good news to those who are lost in sin and without hope.
The gospel of Mark presents the facts of Jesus life, the good news of One who "did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many" - Mark 10:45.

∙ 8y agoA gospel is a literary genre similar to a biography but with some differences. One important difference is that if a biography contains significant errors, it is no longer a biography, but if a gospel contains significant errors, it is still a gospel. Mark was the first New Testament gospel to be written and Mark 1:1 actually says: The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
