What does Evangelion refer to in biblical context?

• A. A type of ancient manuscript
• B. A Greek city
• C. A ritual practice
• D. Good news or Gospel, referring to the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ

Answer: (D)

In biblical usage, Evangelion is the Greek word for good news, the gospel. It denotes the message of salvation through Jesus Christ—that God has acted to reconcile and forgive sinners through Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, inviting all people to belief and new life. This term emphasizes proclamation: the news of God’s saving work is to be announced to the world. It isn’t about manuscript types, places, or ritual practices. The gospel message is the centerpiece of Christian proclamation, and the written Gospels (the accounts of Jesus’ life) embody and record that good news.
