Gospels (Greek: εὐαγγέλιον; Latin: evangelium) are written records detailing the life and teachings of Jesus, each told by a different author.[1] The term originally referred to the Christian message that was preached, but it later came to refer to the books in which the message was written.[2]

Gospels are a genre of ancient biography in early Christian literature. The New Testament includes four canonical gospels, but there are many gospels not included in the biblical canon.[3] These additional gospels are referred to as either New Testament apocrypha or pseudepigrapha.[4][5] Some of these texts have impacted Christian traditions, including many forms of iconography.
