Jeffrey Stackert is a biblical scholar at the University of Chicago Divinity School, where he holds the Caroline E. Haskell Professorship in Hebrew Bible. His research situates the Hebrew Bible within the larger ancient Near Eastern context, particularly focusing on the composition of the Pentateuch, ancient Near Eastern prophecy, cultic texts, and laws. Stackert’s critical publications include 'Rewriting Torah: Literary Revision of Deuteronomy and Holiness Legislation' (Mohr Siebeck, 2007), which examines the literary connections within biblical legal corpora, and 'A Prophet Like Moses: Prophecy, Law, and Israelite Religion' (Oxford University Press, 2014), analyzing the interplay of law and prophecy in Pentateuchal sources. His most recent work, 'Deuteronomy and the Pentateuch' (Yale University Press, 2022), presents a novel argument on the origins and interpretation of Deuteronomy. Stackert has edited contributions in the 'Oxford Handbook of the Pentateuch' and has led the CEDAR (Critical Editions Digital Analysis Research) project focused on the Hebrew Bible. He is active in the academic community, serving on editorial boards for various journals, and is involved in organizing the Chicago-Yale Pentateuch Colloquium. His scholarly contributions and leadership in digital humanities projects position him as a prominent figure in Biblical Studies.
