He is a noted scholar specialized in the areas of biblical archaeology, ancient near eastern studies, and Old Testament. Hoffmeier is also the author, most recently of Israel in and Out of Egypt (Hendrickson, 2026) of Israel in Egypt (Oxford University Press, 1997) and a second, enlarged edition is in press, Israel In and Out of Egypt (Henrickson), and Ancient Israel in Sinai (Oxford University Press, 2005), Akhenaten and the Origins of Monotheism (Oxford University Press, 2015), and The Prophets of Israel: Walking Ancient Paths (Kregel 2021).
