Wildman (theology, Boston U.) argues for the latter, what he calls "modest", view. He claims that modest Christologies are more faithful to the actual history of Christological development than are absolutist ones, and that the absolutist view can be shown to be incongruous with much that we have come to know about human history and the cosmos.
