Durie has published articles and books on the Acehnese language of Aceh, Indonesia, linguistics, the genesis of the Quran and interfaith relations. His 1985 book A grammar of Acehnese: on the basis of a dialect of North Aceh has been described as "an urgently needed modern description of a very important language",{{cite journal|url=https://www.persee.fr/doc/arch_0044-8613_1988_num_35_1_2434|last=Alieva|first=Natalia F.|title=Mark Durie, A Grammar of Acehnese on the Basis of a Dialect of North Aceh|journal=Archipel|volume=35|number=1|year=1988|pages=213–215|via=Persée}} and Durie has himself later been described as "the most accomplished specialist on Acehnese writing in English".{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8xtrBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA168|page=168|title=Nationalism, Language, and Muslim Exceptionalism|first=Tristan James|last=Mabry|publisher=University of Pennsylvania|year=2015|isbn=9780812246919}} He was the editor of the book The comparative method: regularity and irregularity in language change along with Malcolm Ross in 1996.{{cite journal|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/4176553|title=Reviewed Work: The Comparative Method Reviewed: Regularity and Irregularity in Language Change by Mark Durie, Malcolm Ross|first=Orin D.|last=Gensler|journal=Journal of Linguistics|volume=35|number=3|date=November 1999|pages=608-618|publisher=Cambridge University Press|jstor=4176553}}{{cite journal|url=https://www.sil.org/resources/archives/4624|title=Review of: The comparative method: regularity and irregularity in language change, Mark Durie and Malcolm Ross, editors|first=Karl J.|last=Franklin|year=2000|journal=Notes on Linguistics 3|pages=143-147|via=SIL Language & Culture Archives}}

Durie has also been described as "an accomplished scholar of issues involving Christianity and Islam".{{cite journal|last=Silinsky|first=Mark|title=The Third Choice: Islam, Dhimmitude, and Freedom|journal=Middle East Quarterly|volume=19|issue=2|edition=Spring 2012|year=2012|page=94|url=https://www.proquest.com/openview/074134e00116793ded223b898ac8f6ae/|via=ProQuest}} He devoted himself to study Islam following the September 11 attacks in 2001, after he had previously been familiar with Islam in Aceh. His 2010 book The Third Choice: Islam, Dhimmitude and Freedom has a foreword by Bat Ye'or, and Durie has been described as a proponent of Ye'or's counter-jihadist worldview.{{cite web|url=https://www.newenglishreview.org/articles/dhimmitude-unveiled/|title=Dhimmitude Unveiled|date=August 2013|first=Jerry|last=Gordon|work=New English Review|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240622055633/https://www.newenglishreview.org/articles/dhimmitude-unveiled/|archive-date=22 June 2024|url-status=live}} Ye'or had earlier written a positive review of Durie's book Revelation?

Durie has been noted for his writings on the linguistics relations between the Quran and the Bible, seeing the Quran as "biblical borrowing".{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Lx6bEAAAQBAJ|section=The Qur'an as Biblical Borrowing (in The Qur'an as Mosaic)|title=The Qur'an and the Christian: An In-Depth Look at Islam for Followers of Jesus|first=Matthew Aaron|last=Bennett|year=2022|publisher=Kregel|isbn=9780825477560}}{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XjCnEAAAQBAJ|title=Key Terms of the Qur'an: A Critical Dictionary|first=Nicolai|last=Sinai|year=2023|publisher=Princeton University Press|pages=355, 460, 567|isbn=9780691241326}}
