Kerygma (from Ancient Greek: κήρυγμα, kḗrygma) is a Greek word used in the New Testament for "proclamation" (see Luke 4:18-19, Romans 10:14, Gospel of Matthew 3:1). It is related to the Greek verb κηρύσσω ( kērússō ), literally meaning "to cry or proclaim as a herald" and being used in the sense of "to proclaim, announce ...
