Gospelize

/ˈɡɑːspəˌlaɪz/ verb

Definition

To preach the Gospel; to spread Christian teachings or convert someone to Christianity through Gospel messages.

Etymology

From 'gospel' + the suffix -ize (to make or become, or to engage in a process), creating a verb form meaning to engage in gospel preaching.

Kelly Says

Adding -ize to a noun creates a verb showing a process—'gospelize' means to turn something or someone toward the Gospel, and historically it was a key word describing Christian missionary work.
