Paul used the word evangelium, translated as gospel, to talk about the good news of Jesus' resurrection. It's a word that the Romans were very familiar with. Paul, in fact, was using the word gospel to directly challenge their ideas about godhood, goodness, and joy. The letter to the Phillipians picks up this theme as Paul weaves a revelation and exhortation to hope, joy, and celebration. It's an exhortation that's connected to Isaiah. Karen leads this fascinating discussion.

198 | Roman ideas of the gospel before St Paul
Published 4 Dec 2025 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Because this Greek word, Evangelion, which we translate gospel, means news that brings great joy.

Being installed. So some world -changing battle has been won or an important proclamation has been handed down. Or the news that this great war is finally over. That is what is referred to by good news. For example, in 490 BC when Greece was invaded for Persia by Persia, excuse me, and they managed to defeat them. […]
