*the book of daniel is a ‘biblical book’ consisting of an “account of the activities/visions of ‘daniel’, a ‘noble jew’ exiled at ‘babylon’*
.
(in the ‘Hebrew Bible’ it is found in the Ketuvim (‘writings’), while in ‘Christian Bibles’ it is grouped with the ‘Major Prophets’)
(the book divides into 2 parts, a set of 6 ‘court tales’ in chapters 1–6 followed by 4 apocalyptic visions in chapters 7–12)
(the ‘Apocrypha’ contains three additional stories, the ‘Song of the 3 Holy Children’, ‘Susanna’, and “bel and the dragon”)
(traditionally ascribed to ‘Daniel’ himself, modern scholarly consensus considers the book ‘pseudonymous’, the stories of the first half legendary in origin, and the visions of the second the product of anonymous authors in the ‘Maccabean period’ (2nd century BC))
(its message is that just as the ‘God of Israel’ saved ‘Daniel’ and his friends from their enemies, so he would save all of ‘Israel’ in their present oppression)
.
(its influence has resonated through later ages, from the ‘dead sea scrolls’ community and the authors of the ‘gospels’ and ‘Revelation’, to various movements from the 2nd century to the ‘Protestant Reformation’ and modern ‘millennialist movements’ – on whom it continues to have a profound influence)
