His research delves into the transformations of pagan iconography during the rise of Christianity, exploring how sacred sculptures were both venerated and destroyed in late antiquity. Drawing on interdisciplinary approaches from archaeology, history, and visual studies, Kristensen illuminates the cultural dynamics of religious conversion and the enduring legacy of classical antiquity. With a keen eye for the tangible remnants of the past, he bridges academic scholarship and public engagement, making complex historical narratives accessible to a broader audience through his insightful publications and lectures.
