Personal Studies in Biblical Theology

About Mark Gatzen’s personal biblical-theology studies, written as independent lay research with attention to Scripture’s literary, historical, and canonical context.

This site contains personal studies in biblical theology by Mark Gatzen, an independent lay researcher.

The aim is to read Scripture in its own literary, historical, and canonical context, with attention to biblical theology, ancient Near Eastern background, and the Bible’s movement toward Christ and new creation.

These articles are not official church documents or academic publications. They are offered as carefully argued theological studies for readers who want to examine Scripture directly.

The site is especially concerned with the internal logic of Scripture: creation, covenant, exile, judgment, redemption, resurrection, and new creation.
