Lutz Doering is Professor of New Testament and Ancient Judaism at the Protestant Theological Faculty of the University of Münster (WWU Münster) and serves as Academic Head of the Institutum Judaicum. His academic career spans prestigious institutions including Durham University, King's College London, and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, where he has held fellowships and leadership positions including Dean of the Theological Faculty (2020-2022) and current Speaker of the Centre for Eastern Mediterranean History and Culture since 2023.
His research focuses on the Dead Sea Scrolls and OT Pseudepigrapha (particularly 1 Enoch, Jubilees, 4 Ezra, and 2 Baruch), Jewish religion in the Hellenistic-Roman period, Tannaitic literature, Torah and halakhah in ancient Judaism and their reception in early Christianity, epistolography and communication in ancient Judaism and early Christianity, the First Letter of Peter, and the Synoptic Gospels. His scholarly work bridges Jewish and Christian studies with particular attention to textual analysis and historical context.
Doering's extensive publication record shows a strong focus on Jewish-Christian relations, textual studies of ancient Jewish literature, and the intersection of religious practice and textual tradition. His recent work (2024-2025) demonstrates continued engagement with epistolography, Dead Sea Scrolls scholarship, Philo of Alexandria studies, and the relationship between Jewish and early Christian thought, particularly regarding legal traditions and community formation.
