(a) One single, distinct historical figure

(b) Any number of historical figures rolled up together

None of the above.

The problem lies in "as written in the New Testament". A person or a number of persons might have been the source for the campfire legends making it into these books. But that doesn't mean a possible Jesus did or said anything that is attributed to him. Let alone the supernatural stuff.
