The book of Daniel is a literary rich and complex story known
for its apocalyptic style. Written in both Hebrew and Aramaic, the
book begins with stories of Daniel and three Jewish young men
Hananiah (Shadrach), Mishael (Meshach), and Azariah (Abednego) who
are exiles among the remnant from Judea in Babylon in sixth century
b.c.e. It ends with Daniel's visions and dreams about the Jewish
community that offer comfort and encouragement as they endure
persecution and hope for deliverance into God's kingdom.
