He then studied Protestant theology , took the theological candidate exam in 1888 and was ordained that same year . Lundström was active in church after historical research and was due to a treatise on the Swedish Reformation ( Laurentius Paulinus Gothus , hans lif och verksamhet ) in 1893 to Dr. theol. PhD. Subsequently (1898) he was appointed lecturer and in the same year professor for church history in Uppsala.

Lundström's scholarly work focused on the edition of sources from Swedish church history, mostly from the 16th century. In 1900 he founded the journal Kyrkohistorisk Årsskrift (Church History Annual). From 1909 he acted as chairman of the general Swedish parish conference.
