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.

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.


Is Daniel a major or minor prophet?

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.


When and where was Saint Daniel born?

There are several saints named Daniel including Daniel, the Old Testament prophet. In the Roman Catholic Church his feast day is July 21. If Daniel did exist he would not be accorded the title of 'saint' as he would have been from the Old Testament. Saint refers to New Covenant personages - those he lived from the time of Christ forward.
