Evankeliumeja

Evankeliumeja is a Finnish term that denotes multiple gospels. The base noun evankeliumi means “the gospel.” In modern standard Finnish, the usual plural form is evankeliumit, while evankeliumeja can appear as a historical or nonstandard plural variant found in certain texts, such as older translations, liturgical material, or scholarly editions. The form does not imply a different meaning; it reflects a variation in inflection that has appeared in some contexts.

Etymology and usage notes indicate that evankeliumi originates from the Greek euangelion, through Latin evangelium, mirroring the same historical lineage as the word “gospel” in English. The standard Finnish pluralization is evankeliumit, but evankeliumeja has been observed as a morphological variant in discussions that treat the gospels as a collective group or in more archaic or provincial textual traditions.

In practice, most contemporary references to the four canonical gospels or to “the gospels” in Finnish employ evankeliumit, while evankeliumeja may be encountered mainly for historical linguistic study or in editions that aim to preserve older orthographic patterns. The term is primarily of linguistic interest rather than a distinct theological category.
