Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interprets the history of Christology as being defined by a central distinction between those who assign to Christ an absolute role and those who do not. 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.
