What books in the bible did Daniel write?

There were several persons called Daniel in the Bible. In 1 Chronicles, Daniel was the second son of David. Ezramentions a Daniel in the reign of Artaxerxes (465-424 BCE); Nehemiah also mentions a Daniel. Ezekiel talks of a Daniel, who lived early in the Babylonian Exile and whom it compares to Noah and Job, but Ezekiel does not say what he did or was famous for.The most important Daniel in the Bible is the main charactor in the Book of Daniel. That this could not be the same Daniel as the Daniel of Eziekiel is demonstrated by the different time periods described. Ezekiel's Daniel was much too early for the Daniel described in the Book of Daniel. The Daniel in the Book of Daniel is said to have risen to become the second most important person in the Babylonian Empire. After the Persian defeat of the Babylonian Empire, he also became the second most important person in the Persian Empire. He is described as miraculously surviving exotic execution attempts. Tradition says that Daniel actually wrote the Book of Daniel, but evidence internal to the book demonstrates that that could not be the case. Almost all scholars recognise the Book of Daniel as being written by an anonymous author during the third century BCE.


What is the Book before Daniel?

The book before Daniel in the Old Testament is the book of Ezekiel. Ezekiel contains prophecies and visions given to the prophet Ezekiel concerning the nation of Israel and its future.


Where was Daniel imprisoned in the bible?

There are more than one Daniel in the Bible, but the name 'Daniel' is almost always associated with the Book of Daniel, which describes Daniel as a young boy when taken into exile by the Babylonians. He would have been born shortly before 600 BCE. No other book in the Old Testament mentions this Daniel, although Ezekiel does mention a near-contemporary also called Daniel. However, Ezekiel's Daniel must have been a little earlier that the hero of the Book of Daniel.The Book of Daniel speaks of Daniel in the third person, thus the author was not Daniel himself. In fact, there is good reason to doubt whether Daniel was a real, historical person. The book appears to have been written approximately 147 BCE to describe events occurring hundreds of years earlier, and its hero might have been inspired by the Daniel in the Book of Ezekiel. Historical errors in the Book of Daniel make its evidence unreliable.

When did Daniel appear in Persia?

AnswerTo say when Daniel appeared in Persia, we should look at the written records of the Persians themselves. After all, Daniel tells us that he was the second most important person in the Persian Empire, after the king.But the Persian records tell us nothing about Daniel or about any foreigner whe became vizier, or any other high position in the empire. There is nothing in the record of either the Persians or of the contemporary Jews that would help us place Daniel in a Persian context. Even the historical detail of the Book of Daniel differs in fundamental ways from the history as we know it. It is as if the second-century BCE author of the Book of Daniel was writing a novel that only later became accepted as a book of history. Daniel was not part of Persian history.
