The Book of Daniel is a Jewish and Christian religious text, found in the Old Testament of the Bible. The book is an apocalypse text, written between the 6th and 2nd centuries BC, and set in the 6th century BC. The authorship of the text is traditionally attributed to Daniel, though that attribution is heavily debated in modern times, with many more recent scholars attributing the text to an unknown 2nd century writer. The book describes the Prophet Daniel’s life while he was in captivity in Babylon. The book consists of 12 chapters, written originally in Aramaic and Hebrew.
Daniel also includes three sections which are considered canonical by the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, and the Oriental Orthodox Church, but which are not deemed canonical by modern day Protestants and modern day Jews. Those sections are titled:
- Prayer of Azariah and Song of the Three Holy Children (Septuagint Daniel 3:24–90)
- Susanna and the Elders (Septuagint prologue, Vulgate Daniel 13)
- Bel and the Dragon (Septuagint epilogue, Vulgate Daniel 14)
