Westcott Chair in Biblical Studies at Durham University, Department of Theology and Religion. Professor Stuckenbruck also taught at the University of Kiel, Germany (1992–1994). He has received research fellowships from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (1998) and the Fulbright Foundation (1986–1988, Heidelberg and Tübingen). He is a graduate of Milligan College (B.A.), and is a double alumnus of Princeton Theological Seminary (M.Div., Ph.D.). He is or has been editor for a number of journals (Zeitschrift f. die neutestamentliche Wissenschaft; Journal for the Study of the Pseudepigrapha; Journal of Biblical Literature; New Testament Studies; Henoch; Zeitschrift f. die Althebraistik; Dead Sea Discoveries). He is also editor of several series, including Themes in Biblical Narrative (Leiden, Brill); Chief Editor, 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).

Stuckenbruck's research, which has been published in several books and over one hundred twenty articles, focuses on Second Temple Judaism and Early Christianity, reflecting both historical and theological interests. In particular, his work centers on the Dead Sea Scrolls, Enoch literature, other Jewish sapiential and apocalyptic writings, and 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, cosmology, monotheistic belief, origins of Christology, and text-critical editions (esp. Aramaic, Syriac, Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Ethiopic). Growing out if his scholarly work, Stuckenbruck has a particular interest in interdisciplinary work and collaboration with scholars in the Middle East (Israel, Egypt), Ethiopia, Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Austria, Canada, Italy and the United Kingdom. His current writing projects are focusing on evil in the New Testament, the Aramaic documents of the Dead Sea Scrolls, a commentary on the Enochic Book of Watchers (Anchor Bible), and on text-critical work on the early Enoch literature preserved primarily in Aramaic, Greek and Ethiopic (Ge'ez).
