Bible Figure
Susanna
character in the deuterocanonical additions to the Book of Daniel (for the section of the additions to Daniel, use Q35555488)
Susanna is the righteous woman at the center of the deuterocanonical story of Susanna, an addition to Daniel.
Biography
In the story of Susanna, two elders lust after the married Susanna and falsely accuse her of adultery when she refuses them. She is condemned until the young Daniel separately questions the accusers and exposes contradictions in their testimony, vindicating Susanna. This narrative is included in Catholic and Orthodox forms of Daniel but not in the Jewish or Protestant canon.
Biblical Significance
If retained on AVWJ, Susanna should be clearly labeled deuterocanonical rather than presented as a figure from the Protestant Old Testament canon.
