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.
