“The term “evangelist” is based on the Greek word for “gospel,” which means “news.” As evangelists, the authors of the gospels proclaimed the “news” about Jesus in and for their time and place. The word “news” suggests updating. They proclaimed Jesus for their “now” by updating the story of Jesus “then.” They combined proclamation of Jesus for their now with their memory of Jesus then. In this, they did what any good Christian preacher, teacher, or theologian does—tells us what Jesus then means for us now.”
