Morphology
The phrase is fully compositional: 'book' + 'of' + 'Daniel' straightforwardly yields 'a book about Daniel' for a learner who knows the constituents. The genitive/title construction 'Book of X' is common across languages, so while detailed religious or historical content requires background knowledge, the basic referential meaning is transparent.
Etymology
Book of Daniel is a book in the Bible about a man called Daniel who lived in Babylon and had dramatic scenes like the lions' den and strange 'visions' about the future. Because the book is full of bold dreams and warnings, its name now brings to mind powerful 'prophecies' and strong images of what might happen.
