Evangelical: Encyclopedia - Evangelism Evangelism is the preaching of the Christian Gospel or, by extension, any other form of preaching or proselytizing. The word evangelist comes from the Koine Greek word εὐάγγελος ("eu-angelos"), meaning bringer of good news. The Koine expression for good news, εὐάγγελιον ("eu-angelion") is used to refer to the four Gospels in the New Testament; and thus the Evangelists are also the authors of the four Gospels -- traditionally known as Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
