His research focuses on Medieval History, specializing in Church History, Political History, and Historical Legitimation during Scandinavia's twelfth century. Key interests include the analysis of papal letters as instruments of power, local political dynamics, and ecclesiastical authority in medieval Denmark, examining how written communication facilitated circuits of legitimation within regional power structures.

Christensen's 2023 publication in the Journal of Medieval History demonstrates his methodological approach combining textual analysis with historical context, revealing how local actors repurposed papal correspondence for political celebration and authority validation. This work positions him within Scandinavian medieval scholarship with emphasis on institutional communication networks.
