Thomas Arentzen studied theology at the University of Oslo and went on to do a PhD in early Christianity at Lund University. From 2015 to 2019 he conducted his own postdoctoral research project Bodies in Motion: Religion and Corporeality in Late Antiquity at the University of Oslo (funded by the Research Council of Norway) and spent spring term 2016 as Visiting Scholar at Brown University. In 2018, he became Reader (docent) in Church History at Lund University. For the academic year 2018–19, he was awarded a fellowship in Byzantine Studies at Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection.
Arentzen’s research interests include Byzantine Christianity and ecology. He conducted the research project Beyond the Garden: An Ecocritical Approach to Early Byzantine Christianity (2019–2023 funded by the Swedish Research Council), which focused on trees in late ancient and Byzantine sources. In 2021 he wrote the monograph Byzantine Tree Life with two American colleagues. Arentzen also specializes in early Christian poetry and devotional literature and has explored popular piety and literary expressions of Christian faith. His monograph The Virgin in Song studies representations of the Virgin Mary in late ancient poetry.
Arentzen serves as preses of the scholarly society Collegium Patristicum Lundense and article editor and editor-in-chief of the peer-reviewed journal Patristica Nordica Annuaria.
