Specifically refers to one of the four Gospel writers: Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John. A Christian theological term.
The evangelist Matthew begins his Gospel with the genealogy of Jesus.
Synonym also meaning 'evangelist' in the context of the Gospel writers. 福音史家 is less common.
Refers to the Gospel (the book), not the person who wrote it.
Formed from 福音, “Gospel,” and 史家 in its sense “writer of a history”; it denotes the traditionally recognized authors of the four Gospels.
