Gospel
Standard term shared by Catholic and Protestant Portuguese Bibles. Distinctive Brazilian risk: Allan Kardec’s 1864 book ‘O Evangelho Segundo o Espiritismo’ is a bestselling, widely known Brazilian Spiritist text that explicitly reinterprets ‘evangelho’ as ethical teaching compatible with reincarnation and mediumship. This curriculum’s ‘evangelho’ must be taught as the New Testament proclamation of salvation through Christ’s death and resurrection, not the Spiritist ethical-progress reading.
