LÉvangile

L'Évangile, meaning "the Gospel" in French, is a term primarily used in Christian contexts to denote the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the message that Christians believe he proclaimed. In the New Testament tradition, the four canonical gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—are the principal written accounts of Jesus’ ministry. The word gospel is also used more broadly to refer to the Christian message of salvation and its proclamation to believers and, in missionary contexts, to the wider world.

The term derives from Latin evangelium, from Greek euangelion, meaning "good news." In French, the standard spelling for the religious term is L'Évangile, with an apostrophe indicating the elision of the preceding article; the form LÉvangile with a grave accent is atypical and generally considered nonstandard or stylistic.

Beyond its theological use, L'Évangile may appear as a title or proper name in religious publications, liturgical works, or artistic productions that center on Christian themes. In those contexts, the phrase retains its sense as a proclamation of the Christian message.
