What's an evangelist?

Answer 1

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are the four evangelists. They wrote the four gospels.

Answer 2

Evangelism is the proclaiming of the Christian Gospel or, by extension, any other form of preaching or proselytizing. It also lends its name to any one of a number of Protestant Christian sects having roots in the late 19th century American Revivalist movements.

The word evangelist comes from the Koine Greek word ευαγγελιον (transcribed as "euangelion") via Latin "Evangelium", as used in the canonic titles of the four Gospels, and thus The Evangelists are the authors of the four Gospels -- traditionally known as Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John (a.k.a. the Four Evangelists). The Greek word ευαγγελιον originally meant a reward for good news given to the messenger (ευ = "good", αγγελλω = "I bring a message"; the word angel is of the same root) and later "good news". The latter term gives rise to the word "Gospel".

For many groups, a church planter is called an evangelist. Sometimes, the regular minister of a church is called an evangelist in a way that other groups would typically use the term pastor. Among these groups is the Church of Christ and organizations such as The Foundation for Evangelism. The evangelical movement in Protestant Christianity encompasses denominations and parachurch organizations such as the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association which, among other characteristics, focus on evangelism and the drawing-in of new converts. In common parlance, the title of evangelist is most easily associated with those who lead large meetings like those of Billy Graham, possibly in tents or existing church buildings, or those who address the public in street corner preaching, which targets listeners who happen to pass nearby on the street.

Tele-evangilists are those annoying people on TV with over made up wives flaunting their riches and preaching about being humble and giving while doing the exact opposite. I can't believe anyone can look at that one woman on the 700 club that is so entirely fake and actually believe a word that she says. But obviously a lot of people do and they pay good money to keep her looking so plastic.
