Wolters has made a particular study of the Copper Scroll, one of the Dead Sea Scrolls. He has published multiple papers on the subject[7] as well as a pamphlet The Copper Scroll: Overview, Text and Translation as a supplement to the Journal for the Study of the Old Testament.[8]

Wolters has published several articles on the book of Zechariah,[9] and a major commentary which focuses on the way the book of Zechariah has been interpreted through history.[10]
