Of the people who claim to have witnessed the Resurrected Jesus, from whom do we have their writings?

I am aware of Paul, Luke, John, and Peter. Are there any I am missing (not counting Apocrypha)?

Thanks in advance

Update:

EDIT: I was hoping my inclusion of the word "claim" would have been a big clue as to the nature of the information I am looking for.

If Paul never made such a claim, I am not sure what to make of 1 Corinthians 15.

Update 2:

Publius: you may want to go back and read Matthew and Mark

    None, actually.

    "Paul" only had we he described as a "vision" -- not an actual "seeing."

    "Luke" never claimed to even have had a vision, and admits right up front in his "gospel" that he's simply telling the stories other people told him.

    The "gospel of John" wasn't actually written by any "John" who was supposedly with "jesus" or saw him.

    And there are no verifiable writings of "Peter."

    The gospel according to the apostle Bartholomew gives the most complete and detailed story of the actual ressurection and ascension of Jesus, but you believe this gospel is made up according to the churches.

    These are the same churches that killed thousands upon thosands of innocent women and children because of their beliefs.

    The canons were not actually written by the disciples who names adorn them but hundreds of years after their deaths. It was a common practice in those days to label documents with the names of the known and recognized to give them credibility.

    (Acts 2:29-32) “Men, brothers, it is allowable to speak with freeness of speech to YOU concerning the family head David, that he both deceased and was buried and his tomb is among us to this day. 30 Therefore, because he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn to him with an oath that he would seat one from the fruitage of his loins upon his throne, 31 he saw beforehand and spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was he forsaken in Ha′des nor did his flesh see corruption. 32 This Jesus God resurrected, of which fact we are all witnesses.

    These words were uttered by Peter an eyewitness and were penned by Luke under inspiration. the resurrection of Jesus was also mentioned by :

    First Century Jewish historian Flavius Josephus acknowledged the existence of Jesus Christ in his well documented book, “Jewish Antiquities.” In it, Josephus confirmes how Ananus, a high priest in the first century “convened the judges of the Sanhedrin and brought before them a man named James, the brother of Jesus who was called the Christ.”

    Other ancient writers, who were hostile to Christianity, also made mention of Christ and his impact on those who were willing to die for exercising faith in him. In his historical biography, “The Twelve Caesars,” Roman historian Suetonius wrote regarding Roman Emperor Claudius:

    “Because the Jews at Rome caused continuous disturbances at the instigation of Chrestus (Christ), he expelled them from the city.”

    The Encyclopedia Britannica concluded, “These independent accounts prove that in ancient times even the opponents of Christianity never doubted the historicity of Jesus.”

    As Historian Will Durant said, in the first century, to deny that Christ had ever existed “seems never to have occurred even to the bitterest Gentile or Jewish opponents of nascent Christianity.”

    “The Historians’ History of the World” noted, “The historical result of his (Jesus’) activities was more momentous even from a strictly secular standpoint, than the deeds of any other character of history. An new era, recognized by the chief civilizations of the world dates from his birth.”

    The World Book Encyclopedia confirms this, stating, “Dates before that year are listed as B.C. or before Christ. Dates after that year are listed as A.D. or Anno Domini (in the year of our Lord).”

    To think ordinary folk who were perceived as “unlearned and ignorant men” at Acts 4:13 could concoct such a fully developed person with global appeal and wisdom far beyond his or our time, is to suspend the facts. This man from Nazareth was real. No one could have dreamed him up.
