Daniel

Treated in 140 passages across the library.

The account of Daniel and his friends, young exiles who stayed faithful to God in the court of Babylon. It tells of the fiery furnace, the writing on the wall and Daniel in the lions' den, and records his visions of the kingdoms of the world giving way to the everlasting kingdom of God and the coming of "one like the Son of man." Daniel's prayer life is a frequent theme of the classics.
