The Three Additions to Daniel (Classic Reprint): A Study
Excerpt from The Three Additions to Daniel: A Study
The study of these three pieces supplementary to Daniel has convinced the writer that they are of more value than has been generally supposed, and are worthy of the attention of biblical scholars in a much higher degree than that which has usually been accorded to them. If he has in any way helped in providing materials, or in suggesting ideas, which may fructify in abler hands, he will be rewarded for the researches he has made.

This book offers a review of the basic attributes of the three disputed additions (Song of the Three Holy Children, Susanna & Bel and the Dragon) to the Biblical book of Daniel. The survey itself compasses textual concerns, content, tone, probable language of origin, historical implications and canonicity debate. The author is mostly even-handed with his handling of matters.
There are also some downsides. The book was clearly intended for a 19th century academic audience - there are many untranslated passages in German, French, Greek, Latin and Aramaic. A great deal of time is also spent discussing the opinions of the author's contemporaries, which offers less now than it would have at the time.
All in all, it is a worthy read.
