Maybe the answer emerging from it is something like, "Along with their citations to the Hebrew texts recognized by most Christian churches, sometimes early Christians did cite deuterocanonical, heretical, and a variety of other works."

Apr 25, 2023 at 0:39 comment added guest37 Old Testament did not finally close finally and definitively until the 7th Ecumenical Council in 787, which harmonized all of the various local Councils' canons. Latin Vulgate was not "THE Bible of Christianity" - only of the Roman Catholic Church. The eastern Church, which comprised the Chalcedonian Orthodox of the four remaining ancient Sees (Constantinople, Antioch, Jerusalem, Alexandria) after the Schism of 1054, did not use the Latin Bible at all, but rather the original Septuagint and New Testament in Greek, as well as versions translated into local languages.
