In the collection entitled Deciphering the Worlds of Hebrews Gabriella Gelardini gathers fifteen essays written in the last fifteen years, twelve of which are in English and three in German. Arranged in three parts (the world of, behind, and in front of Hebrews’s text), her articles deal with such topics as structure and intertext, sin and faith, atonement and cult, as well as space and resistance.
She reads Hebrews no longer as the enigmatic and homeless outsider within the New Testament corpus, as the “Melchizedekian being without genealogy”; rather, she reads Hebrews as one whose origin has finally been rediscovered, namely in Second Temple Judaism.

"She [Gelardini] ably summarizes and engages with broader currents such as the linguistic turn or spatiality, with wider ancient contexts such as discussions of synagogue practice or Roman fides and brings these to bear in the detail of her exegetical or structural discussions of the text of Hebrews. While some details may not persuade […] her wider project of attending to the detail of what it means to locate Hebrews within Second Temple Judaism is both important and convincing." – Nicholas J. Moore, Durham University, in: Journal for the Study of the New Testament Booklist 2022 44.5, August 2022
