Gospel is the translation of the Greek word (εὐαγγέλιον) for Good News.
This is the word that would be used when a king or general would be victorious over an enemy.

Word essentially means the “same view”.

They can be divided roughly into sayings and narratives, that is, teachings of Jesus and stories about Jesus.
They contain multiple types of genres of literature in them each with unique aspects to consider.

They are intentionally ordered to communicate a point.
Each author writes from a slightly different perspective.
Each gospel was written to communicate specific things about Jesus.
