About This Book

The author examines three apocryphal supplements to Daniel — the Song of the Three Holy Children, the History of Susanna, and Bel and the Dragon — analyzing their placement within the canonical narrative, authorship, language, textual integrity, theology, and liturgical use. He evaluates style and probable origin, weighs evidence about date and provenance while treating conclusions as provisional, and surveys early Christian reception and artistic representation. Each addition receives a concluding chapter that draws out moral and homiletic lessons for practical use. The study assembles dispersed materials to argue that these pieces deserve careful scholarly attention without asserting definitive resolutions.
