More Gospel refers to additional or extended teachings of the Christian faith beyond what is typically found in the canonical Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) of the Bible. It represents supplementary writings or narratives that offer further insights into the life, teachings, and ministry of Jesus Christ or provide alternative perspectives on Christian doctrine.
These additional texts are collectively known as "apocryphal Gospels," which were not included in the official biblical canon established by early Christian leaders. Examples of more gospel texts include the Gospel of Thomas, Gospel of Mary Magdalene, or the Gospel of Judas.
The term "more Gospel" can also be used metaphorically to describe an enhanced or expanded understanding of the Christian message. It suggests a deeper exploration of the core principles and teachings of Jesus Christ, encouraging individuals to seek a more profound spiritual understanding of their faith.
In this context, "more Gospel" signifies a call to incorporate additional aspects of Christian belief and practice into one's life. It may involve greater emphasis on love, compassion, forgiveness, or social justice, as promoted by Jesus' teachings. It invites Christians to go beyond a superficial understanding of the Gospel and to embrace a more comprehensive and transformative interpretation of their faith.
The term "more gospel" does not have a specific etymology as it is a combination of two separate words.
The word "more" is derived from the Old English word "māra" and has roots in Old High German and Old Norse. It is commonly used to compare or denote a greater quantity or degree.
The word "gospel" comes from the Old English word "godspel" (meaning "good news" or "good tidings") and originates from the Greek word "euangelion". It has religious connotations and refers to the teachings of Jesus Christ or the message of salvation.
When combined, "more gospel" does not form a distinct or established phrase with a distinct etymology. However, it could be interpreted to mean "additional or greater emphasis on the teachings or message of Christianity".
