Gospel Truth 📜
Gospel truth: Something that may safely be believed. This term dates back to the Middle Ages when Christianity was almost universally accepted in Western civilization. Chaucer himself used “gospel” in numerous writings to mean incontrovertible truth. The word “gospel” is actually a corruption of the Old English godspel, meaning “good tidings,” and was used to signify the glad tidings preached by Jesus, the life of Jesus as told in the New Testament (whose first four books are generally referred to as the Gospels), and the religious doctrine set forth there. Thus, gospel truth literally means something as true as what is contained in the Gospels, which once were believed to be literally true. This term has managed to survive many years and beyond the universal belief in the faith it was associated with.
