The gospel is the life story of Jesus, his works, his ministry, his relationships with people, how he died, why he died the way he did, and the whole point of Christianity in a nutshell.
The gospel is written from the view points of 4 different people; Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. (These aren't just the "titles" of books in the Bible, they are people's names. Disciples/followers of Jesus, men who gave up their lives to follow him.) So the gospel is actually given as eye witness accounts by 4 different people who lived during that time period, who were intimately involved with the person of Jesus.
