The Story of Susanna is a portion of the Book of Daniel as found in the books of the Septuagint, the Old Testament accepted as inspired and canonical by the Orthodox Church in the Greek Orthodox Bible as Daniel chapter 1, and found in the books of the Old Testament of the Vulgate as Daniel chapter 13 and included in the canon of inspired scripture by the Third Council of Carthage (397). Since the Council of Trent it is dogmatically accepted as inspired and canonical by the Catholic Church in the Catholic Bible—books of the Bible accepted as divinely inspired by the majority of Christian believers in the United States.[1]
The 1st chapter of Daniel in the Septuagint, the 13th chapter of Daniel in the Vulgate, is regarded by the majority of Christians as inspired, originally composed in Hebrew or Aramaic, which has not been preserved, and translated from the Greek form of the Book of Daniel in the Septuagint. The Story of Susanna was first removed from the Old Testament and placed in the Apocrypha by Martin Luther in the 16th century.
In the King James Version of the Bible, in the Apocrypha, this separated portion of the 3rd chapter of Daniel is titled
- The History of Susanna
In Ecumenical Bibles this portion of Daniel has been restored by the editors according to its original place in the Vulgate, as chapter 13.
See Apocrypha.
