Bruce was the Rylands Professor of Biblical Criticism and Exegesis at the University of Manchester, England from 1959 until his retirement in 1978. He also taught at Edinburgh, Leeds and Sheffield. Bruce served as the Editor of the Evangelical Quarterly and the Palestinian Exploration Quarterly, as well as the General Editor of the New International Commentary on the New Testament series from 1962 until his death in 1990.
