Bible writers actually claim to have seen a risen Jesus?

I can only think of one... Paul. And his was a vision while traveling.

The Gospels weren't written by who they are named after. There are serious questions about the authorship of James.

All we have are stories of others seeing a resurrected Jesus, and one writer, Paul.

The book of Acts doesn't tell the same story of Paul's encounter that Paul does.
