What does evangelion mean?

• A. Good news or Gospel
• B. A type of ancient manuscript
• C. A Greek city
• D. A ritual practice

Answer: (A)

Evangelion is a Greek word built from eu- meaning “good” and angelion meaning “news” or “message.” In biblical usage it designates the good news of salvation proclaimed about Jesus—the gospel. Over time, the term also came to refer to the written accounts about that message, the four Gospels. That’s why the best answer is “good news or Gospel.” The other options don’t fit because evangelion isn’t a term for a manuscript type, a Greek city, or a ritual practice.
