Archer served as an assistant pastor of [[Park Street Church]] in Boston from 1945 to 1948. He then became a Professor of Biblical Languages at [[Fuller Theological Seminary]] in [[Pasadena, California]] from 1948 to 1965. From 1965 to 1986 he served as a Professor of [[Old Testament]] and [[Semitic languages|Semitics]] at [[Trinity Evangelical Divinity School]], [[Deerfield, Illinois]]. He became an [[emeritus]] faculty member in 1989. The remainder of his life was spent researching, writing, and lecturing.
 
Archer served as one of the 50 original translators of the [[New American Standard Bible|NASB]] published in 1971. He also worked on the team which translated the [[New International Version|NIV]] Bible published in 1978. His defense of the doctrine of [[Biblical inerrancy]] by proposing [[Biblical harmony|harmonizations]] and [[exegesis]] regarding [[inconsistencies in the Bible]] made Archer a well known [[Biblical inerrancy|biblical inerrantist]]. He stated: "One cannot allow for error in history-science without also ending up with error in doctrine."<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.frontlinemin.org/resurrection.asp|title= Resurrection|publisher= Frontline Ministries|access-date= August 17, 2005|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080522111719/http://www.frontlinemin.org/resurrection.asp|archive-date= May 22, 2008|url-status= dead}}; quoted without reference</ref> He was critical of the documentary hypothesis which denies the [[Mosaic authorship]] of the [[Torah|Pentateuch]]. Archer also maintained that the prophet [[Isaiah]] wrote the entire [[book of Isaiah]]; he wrote regarding this issue: "There is not a shred of internal evidence to support the theory of a Second Isaiah, apart from a philosophical prejudice against the possibility of predictive prophecy."
