Professional Activities Stuckenbruck has sat on numerous editorial boards for international academic journals, including ''Zeitschrift für die Neutestamentliche Wissenschaft'', ''Journal for the Study of the Pseudepigrapha'', ''Journal of Biblical Literature'', ''New Testament Studies'', ''Henoch'', ''Zeitschrift für die Althebraistik'', ''Dead Sea Discoveries'', and ''Journal for the Study of Judaism''. He has also served as editor for a number of different book series, e.g., Themes in Biblical Narrative (Leiden, Brill), Commentaries on Early Jewish Literature (Berlin, Walter De Gruyter), Library of Second Temple Studies (London, Continuum), European Studies on Christian Origins (London, Continuum), and Commentaries on the Dead Sea Scrolls (Oxford, University Press).Through his scholarly research, Stuckenbruck has pursued interdisciplinary and collaborative work with scholars from the Middle East (Israel, Egypt), Ethiopia, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Austria, Canada, Italy, and the United Kingdom.
Areas of Expertise Published in four single-authored books, over 20 co-authored or edited books, and some 200 articles, Stuckenbruck's research focuses on Second Temple Judaism and Early Christianity. These publications reflect historical, theological, and interdisciplinary interests. In particular, his work centers on the Dead Sea Scrolls, Enoch literature, other Jewish sapiential and apocalyptic writings, and the literature of the New Testament. Themes most commonly addressed in his publications include theological anthropology, the problem of evil, demonology, mental and physical well-being, angelology, eschatology, biblical cosmology, monotheistic belief, origins of Christology, and text-critical editions (esp. Aramaic, Syriac, Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Ethiopic). His writing focuses on evil in the New Testament (the Gospels, Paul, and the Book of Revelation), the Aramaic documents of the Dead Sea Scrolls, a commentary on the Enochic Book of Watchers (Anchor Bible, Yale University Press), canon in the context of Judaism and a broad range of Christian traditions, and on text-critical work on the early Enoch literature preserved primarily in Aramaic, Greek and Ethiopic (Ge'ez).
