The Early Church Fathers and the Deuterocanonicals

Here is an extensive list of the Early Church Fathers citing the deuterocanonical (apocryphal) books. Although this is not my personally contrived list (see here for original source), I did take the time to actually link all of the works done by the Early Church Fathers which quoted the deuterocanonical books of Scripture. The main reason as to why I did this page is to prove to the many naysayers that these books were around way before Protestants decided to quietly dispose of them in the the late 1880's.

Please note, for the most part, the vast majority of these Early Church Father's writings were cited from the non-Catholic website, Christian Classics Ethereal Library (www.ccel.org). I have used their resources due to the fact that - in this way - I cannot be held to have cited or quoted from a "Catholic friendly" website in order to make my point. Additionally, not all cited works by the Early Church Father's where available on the CCEL's website, therefore, I had to cite a couple early writings from New Advent (www.newadvent.org), which is a Catholic website. Lastly, ALL deuterocanonical (apocryphal) works were cited from the Vatican's website Bible resource page (www.vatican.va). All in all, my thought was to present the Early Church Father's writings from a Protestant source and the apocryphal writings from a Catholic source; by juxtaposing the two, I believe, we are able to better see just how important the deuterocanonicals were to the early church.

NOTE: For some reason or another, I've noticed that some links aren't highlighted. Rest assured that ALL Deuterocanonical works and their biblical references are indeed linked to ccel.org and vatican.va. Just because the work is not highlighted, doesn't mean that the link isn't there.
