The following is the results of your search for evangelist.
Evangelist: A "publisher of glad tidings;" a missionary preacher of the gospel
(Ephesians 4:11) This title is applied to Philip
(Acts 21:8) who appears to
have gone from city to city preaching the word
(Acts 8:4,40) Judging
from the case of Philip, evangelists had neither the authority of an
apostle, nor the gift of prophecy, nor the responsibility of pastoral
supervision over a portion of the flock. They were itinerant
preachers, having it as their special function to carry the gospel to
places where it was previously unknown. The writers of the four
Gospels are known as the Evangelists.
