gospels
Glad tidings writings
Gospels are the four New Testament books—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—that narrate the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.
More broadly, a gospel is any doctrine or set of principles held as absolutely true: the gospel of free markets.
Gospel music is a genre of religious song rooted in African American church traditions.
To take something as gospel is to accept it without question.
