Apocrypha

Bel and the Dragon

1 chapter, titled "Bel" in the source edition

About this book

Two short episodes in which Daniel demonstrates that an idol is not alive and that a revered creature is not divine, and is again delivered from a den of lions.

Why read this

A pointed and slightly wry treatment of idolatry, in which the argument is made by evidence rather than assertion.
