Daniel, Book of
In the Hebrew Bible, and in most recent Protestant versions, the Book of Daniel is limited to its
proto-canonical portions. In the Septuagint, the Vulgate, and many other ancient and modern
translations of the Bible, it comprises both its proto- and its deutero-canonical parts, both of
which have an equal right to be considered as inspired, and to be included in a treatment of the
Book of Daniel.
