If you adhere to the Markan primacy, which most NT scholars do, then the Gospels are blindingly obviously the product of progressive legendization, hagiography, or whatever you want to call it. Since not one of the Gospels can be assigned an author with any degree of surety, the 12 figure very little into it.
Its a matter of open debate whether Paul believed in a physical ressurection at all.
