Hebrew Bible
Gospels
Apostles’ writings
Church fathers
Irenaeus chiefly appealed to Scripture (both Old and New), the apostolic writings and tradition, and the authority/succession of the church’s leaders to refute heretics. He did not use the Qur’an; while he employed logical argument, reason was subordinate to Scripture and apostolic tradition.
