The quotations are so numerous and widespread that, if no manuscripts of the New Testament were extant, the New Testament could be reproduced from the writings of the early Fathers alone.     Geisler, 1986

Indeed, so extensive are these citations that, if all other sources for our knowledge of the text of the New Testament were destroyed, they would be sufficient alone for the reconstruction of practically the entire New Testament. Bruce Metzger,   1992
