Frequently Asked Questions

What is the story of Susanna about?

It is one of the more dramatic and self-contained narratives among the Apocryphal additions.
How does Susanna connect to the Book of Daniel?
Susanna is an Apocryphal addition to the Book of Daniel, added in the Greek version but not found in the Hebrew text of Daniel used in most Protestant Bibles. It typically appears alongside Daniel as either a prologue or appendix, introducing Daniel as a shrewd young defender of justice.
Is Susanna part of the Bible?
Susanna is included in the King James Version with Apocrypha but is not part of the Hebrew Bible or most Protestant canons. It can be read as Susanna in KJVA.
Why is Susanna considered a memorable or distinctive story?
The story is notable for its early use of separate cross-examination to expose false testimony -- Daniel questions the two elders apart from one another and catches them contradicting each other -- a method often cited as an early literary example of detective-style reasoning. That narrative device has made it one of the most frequently retold Apocryphal stories in art and literature.
How does Susanna's setting compare to other exile-era prophetic writing?
Like the visions found alongside Ezekiel, Susanna is set among the Israelite exiles in Babylon and reflects concerns about maintaining righteousness and justice within a community living under foreign rule. Its focus, however, is on courtroom justice rather than prophetic vision.
