Is there Biblical support for Christians basing their beliefs on extra biblical texts? Considering the prominence of the works of popular authors like C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton and prominent theologians like Augustine and others in various Christian circles. Is there Biblical support for basing your beliefs on those who've come before?

Said another way, what different perspectives are there among notable Christian groups regarding the use of non-Biblical works for informing beliefs, and what Biblical support do they give for their perspective?
When you think about it, this question is based on circular reasoning.
Is there Biblical support for basing your beliefs on those who've come before?
The Bible authors &quot;came before.&quot; So lets imagine that there's an imaginary Bible verse that says:

Thou shalt base thine opinions on those whom came before.
2 Chemicals 8:15

Who wrote 2 Chemicals? Saint Heisenberg.  Why should we trust Saint Heisenberg?
&quot;But the Bible is canon!&quot; you might say.  Yes, that's true... Christians, by and large, agree that the Bible is &quot;special.&quot; But why?  Because other Christians decided they were, and we agree with them.
So even believing the Bible is inherently basing our beliefs on those who came before.
