A gospel

gospel is an account describing the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. The most widely known examples are the four canonicalgospels of MatthewMarkLuke, and John, but the term is also used to refer to apocryphal gospelsnon-canonical gospelsJewish-Christian gospels, and gnostic gospels.
Christianity traditionally places a high value on the four canonical gospels, which it considers to be a revelation from God and central to its belief system.Christians teach that the four canonical gospels are an accurate and authoritative representation of the life of Jesus, but many scholars agree that not everything contained in the gospels is historically reliable.
In Islam the Injil (Arabicإنجيل‎) is the Arabic term for a book given to Jesus. Injil is sometimes translated as 'gospel'. This is one of the four Islamic holy books that the Qur'an reports as having been revealed by God. Islam holds that over time the Injil became altered, and God sent the prophetMuhammad to reveal the last book.
