Note
Only the countable meanings take a plural: the four New Testament books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, other early accounts of Jesus' life, and the creeds people preach, such as rival gospels of thrift or productivity. Gospel music and gospel as absolute truth are uncountable, so the plural is not the word for a set of songs or a list of certainties.
