...religion in ancient times? "Gospel" meaning "good word".
I picture trade among peoples meeting for the first time, and then later more times. When there wasn't war, intolerance, fear, and/or xenophobic beliefs - there were times of trade and peace, and people asking people "what's good" all the time. (In certain regions, etc.)
So I guess, at the time, the good word of the day was the word of Jesus Christ, in order for gospels to come about. Such as the gospels of Mark, John, etc.
Like when a hot movie comes out nowadays. Everybody's talking about it. It's either that, or the weather, and the weather gets boring.
