520 |a In Acts 9:36–10:48, Tabitha and Cornelius are both described as individuals who practice charity, but this aspect of their characterization has been routinely underemphasized in scholarly treatments of these chapters. By contrast, some early Christian writers suggest that Tabitha and Cornelius were resurrected and selected for conver sion precisely because of their charity. Such an interpretation stands in line with a tradition found in the Hebrew Bible and Second Temple Judaism that almsgiving has the ability to rescue those who practice it from death. As a result of her charitable deeds, Tabitha is divinely delivered from a physical death, and Cornelius’s charity leads to his being chosen by God for conversion and thus saved from an eternal death.
