What church father and what (apocryphal) book?
from my reading
In many cases, one Father embraces a 22-book list (Old Testament), but his authentic works cite as Scripture deuterocanonical books (or even, in one rare case we have found, an apocryphal book rejected by Jews and all Christians today), as if Scripture.
Neither Perplexity not Gemini are able to do any better than my initial guesses, both of which could proven to be wrong. (think 1 Enoch which is canonical to the Christian Tewahedo Orthodox Church and the Jewish Beta Israel). I have a hint that Clement of Alexandria is a possibility which I'm tracking down.
Does anyone have an answer or a hint for me to follow up on?
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

It's hard to interpret the quoted text absent the author, since the early Fathers weren't shy about using apocrypha (both OT and NT), with a loose use of 'scripture'. I'm halfway thru which is quite good (but too expensive in Logos format). Tertullian comes closest (Enoch), linking the Pastoral 'scriptures' in the use of Enoch.

I'm surprised you think Logos's version of The Canon Debate is too expensive at $52 when Amazon is selling it for $4995.00 :-)

My Amazon has it for $36 which is what I paid. You need to switch Amazons (smiling).
Actually, on your page, cliking the Kindle and then the hardback, fixes the hardback price.
I am getting tired of Logos selling at list (gotta pay for all those subscriber moochers)..

Yeah, there's a big difference in price between the Kindle version and the hardcover :-)
