Do you capitalize the word gospel?

Yes, "Gospel" is capitalized when referring to the four canonical gospels of the Bible (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John).

However, it is not capitalized when used in a general sense, like "He spread the gospel of peace."

Here's a breakdown:

Capitalized:

* The Gospel of Matthew

* The Gospels are the heart of the Christian faith.

Not Capitalized:

* He preached the gospel.

* The gospel of peace is essential.
