A:One difference is that a gospel is a scripture, usually written as a biography.

Another is that a biography tells us facts about events in the life of the subject person or about his personality. If the biography is found not to be substantially factual it is no longer a biography. On the other hand, a gospel remains a gospel whether or not it is factual. While Christians will insist that the four New Testament gospels are indeed factual, there were other gospels written, that modern Christians will recognise as substantially non-factual.

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.
