Did Jesus Christ exist as a historical human or was he a theological construct?

A far more rational and less cynical conclusion is the one reached by the non-Christian Wll Durant, which is basically "you can't make this stuff up" even if there are some contradictions. And BTW, how do a few fishermen write similes as good as Shakespeare's and "the greatest system of morals" ever laid down? (Jefferson)

And what about the Veda's? They are probably the oldest system of morals on earth, written hundreds of years earlier than any biblical scrolls. And yes, the literature can rival Shakespeare at any given time.
