About this eBook

Author Daubney, William Heaford
Title The Three Additions to Daniel, a Study
Note Reading ease score: 72.7 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
Summary "The Three Additions to Daniel" by William Heaford Daubney is a scholarly examination written in the early 20th century that delves into three apocryphal segments of the Book of Daniel: "The Song of the Three Holy Children," "The History of Susanna," and "The History of Bel and the Dragon." The author aims to provide a thorough analysis of these additions, which have historically faced skepticism and criticism, advocating for their reconsideration as valuable components of biblical literature. The opening of this academic study sets the stage by highlighting the marginalization that these apocryphal texts have often faced within Christian tradition. Daubney explores the ideas around the origins of these additions, underscoring the lack of robust scholarly attention they have received in English, and emphasizes their relevance in understanding Jewish history and theology during the Babylonian Exile. He introduces the themes addressed in each addition, indicating not only their narrative links to the canonical text of Daniel but also their potential moral and theological implications that are worthy of serious contemplation.
