Following in the tradition of Reformed writers such as Kuyper, Bavinck, Dooyeweerd, and Vollenhoven, Wolters outlines a worldview based around the categories of creation, fall, and redemption.
Wolters has made a particular study of the Copper Scroll, one of the Dead Sea Scrolls. He has published multiple papers on the subject 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.
Wolters has published several articles on the book of Zechariah, and a major commentary which focuses on the way the book of Zechariah has been interpreted through history.
