A:
The Book of Daniel is set in the sixth century BCE, duringthe Babylonian Exile, but this is not the time it was written. Biblical scholars say the novel was actually written around 147 BCE.
The Book of Daniel has twelve chapters:
Ch.1 - Daniel in Nevuchadnezzar's palace; insists on kosher food.
Ch.2 - Daniel interprets the king's (Nevuchadnezzar's) dream, of a beast made of gold, silver, brass, iron and clay. It hints to four kingdoms.
Ch.3 - Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, Daniel's young friends, refuse to bow to a statue put up by the king. They are cast into a furnace but God prevents the fire from burning them.
Ch.4 - The king dreams of a great tree cut down and a man humbled by losing his sanity and living among the animals. Daniel tells him that this would befall him, the king; and it came true.
Ch.5 - The Chaldean king Belshazzar sees a disembodied hand writing on a wall. Daniel tells him that the mysterious words hint that his (Belshazzar's) rule will not last. Belshazzar is killed that very night.
Ch.6 - Daniel continues his regular prayers despite a decree forbidding such prayers. The king, Darius, has him tossed among hungry lions, but God prevents them from harming him.
Ch.7 - Daniel dreams of four strange beasts, hinting to four kingdoms.
Ch.8 - Daniel has a vision of a ram and a goat, hinting to Persia, Medea and Greece.
Ch.9 - Daniel prays to God.
Ch.10 - Daniel speaks to the angel.
Ch.11 - The angel tells Daniel of future wars between kings.
Ch.12 - Daniel is told that the meaning of the prophecy will remain hidden until the end-times.
According to traditional chronology, Daniel lived from about 435 BCE to about 340 BCE. His gravesite is known to this day, in Susa, Iran.

The Book of Daniel is believed to have been written sometime between 167 and 164 BCE.
There is a great deal of evidence that supports this date, rather than the book having been written during the Babylonian Exile. The book contains serious historical errors around the time of the Babylonian Exile, but becomes more accurate as it talks about later centuries, up to the second century BCE.
The book of Daniel shows that writer knew of the desecration of Yahweh's altar by Antiochus IV in 168 BCE, but not of the restoration of worship by Judas Maccabeus three years later. Either the divine foresight that inspired Daniel loses focus between 168 and 165, or that is when the book was actually written.
According to tradition, Daniel lived from about 435 BCE to about 340 BCE. His gravesite is known to this day, in Susa, Iran. The Book of Daniel contains prophecies, many of which were fulfilled a couple of hundred years later. The Aramaic portions of Daniel are exactly in keeping with the relevant dialect of the time when tradition says that he lived.See also:

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.
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.
Daniel was imprisoned in Babylon, specifically in the king's palace, after being captured along with other Israelites. He was later thrown into the lions' den for defying the king's order not to pray to God, but he was miraculously saved.
Jews regard the Book of Daniel as a Book of History, but Christians categorise it as a Major Prophets book. Biblical scholars say that the book was really written in the second century BCE and contains no genuine prophecies. Biblical scholars say Daniel was not a real person.
The audience in the Book of Daniel was likely the Jewish exiles living in Babylon during the time of the Babylonian exile. The book was written to provide encouragement and hope to the Jewish community in exile, emphasizing themes of faith, obedience, and God's sovereignty.
Daniel is mentioned in Ezekiel, the book of Daniel and the gospels of Matthew and Luke. The name Daniel is also in 1 Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah but they are not the same Daniel as in the book of Daniel
