“We have learned from none others the plan of our salvation, than from those through whom the Gospel has come down to us, which they did at one time proclaim in public, and, at a later period, by the will of God, handed down to us in the Scriptures, to be the ground pillar of our faith.”
- Irenaeus of Lyons (c. 195), Against Heresies, Book III:1.1
