Marcus J. Borg Quote

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.
