- Summary:
- Jennie Grillo traces across cultures and languages the reception history of the 'additions' to the Book of Daniel through three key themes: martyrdom, afterlife worlds, and the act of seeing beauty. Exploring commentary, iconography, fine art, and more, this study demonstrates the longer Daniel-book's abiding significance for theology.
