Today I've read St. Theophilus of Antioch's "Ad Autolycum", which is his apology of Christianity against the errors of paganism. His approach and the questions that he deals with in his "Ad Autolycum" are very critical to understand how Christians in the 2nd Century dealt with pagan objections and what doctrines they defend.

St. Theophilus argues for the Trinity, do note that this is two centuries before Nicaea. This shows that the doctrine of the Trinity was not a controversial belief for Christians. He also argues for the literal interpretation of Genesis, and says it is the most reliable and authentic historical document out of all historical documents that existed in his day! He also mentions that even the Greek oracles tell the Greeks to stop worshipping idols, and rather to worship the one uncreated divine creator God who is a Father.
