I have attempted to compile an English bibliography of the writings of Martin Hengel here. Please let me know if you know of English publications that I have missed.

For a more comprehensive bibliography through 2010, see

Frey, J. 2010. “Gesamtbibliographie Martin Hengel 1959-2010.” Pages 557-609 in Martin Hengel. Theologische, historische und biographische Skizzen. Kleine Schriften VII. Edited by Claus-Jürgen Thornton with an appreciation and complete bibliography by Jörg Frey. WUNT 253.

I also especially recommend the essays by Jörg Frey and Roland Deines in Earliest Christian History. History, Literature, and Theology. Essays from the Tyndale Fellowship in Honor of Martin Hengel. Edited by M. F. Bird and J. Maston. WUNT 2/320. Tübingen: Mohr, 2012.

Finally, special mention should be made of the recent publication of the second volume of Hengel and Schwemer’s history of early Christianity:

2019. Hengel, M., and A. M. Schwemer. Geschichte des frühen Christentums. Vol. 2: Das Urgemeinde und das Judenchristentum. Tübingen: Mohr.
