In this innovative study, Joshua D. Garroway offers a revised
account of the origin of the all-important Christian word "gospel,"
yielding significant new insights into the development of early
Christian history and literature. Long thought to have originated
on the lips of Jesus or his disciples, "gospel" was in fact coined
by Paul midway through his career to describe his controversial new
interpretation of Jesus' death and resurrection. For nearly a
decade after the crucifixion, the thoroughly Jewish Jesus movement
demanded circumcision and Law observance from Gentile converts.
Only in the early 40s did Paul arrive at the belief that such
observance was no longer necessary, an insight he dubbed "the
gospel," or good news. The remainder of Paul's career featured
clashes with authorities over the legitimacy of the gospel, debates
that continued after his death in the writings of Mark, Matthew,
and Luke-Acts. These writings obscured the original context of the
gospel, however, and in time the word lost its specific association
with Paul and his scandalous notion of salvation outside the Law.
