An evangelist is someone who proclaims good news. This is specifically the 'good news' or gospel of Jesus (gospel being an Old English equivalent of the Greek 'evangel' (εὐαγγελος) 'good news').

  • In its most restricted sense, evangelist means one of the writers of the Four canonical gospels of the New Testament:
    • Matthew
    • Mark
    • Luke
    • John
