AnswerIn his epistles, Paul had often referred to the gospel, or "good news", that he preached. Later, when the book now known as Mark was written, the term gospel was adopted for the new genre that it became: thus Mark's Gospel. There are dozens of books in the 'gospel' genre, but only four were selected for inclusion in the New Testament.

No. The four Gospels ('Gospel' means good news) are accounts by four of Jesus' contemporaries (and maybe one near-contemporary) about what Jesus said, what He did, where He went, to whom He spoke, etc. The Gospels contain references to God's people before Jesus' time (mostly made by Jesus Himself), but they are included only incidentally to the main thrust of the Scripture. The Gospels' principal focus is on Jesus.
