Who wrote the gospels? People who knew Jesus, followed him and listened to his teachings, and wrote down the details. There were men who lived with Jesus, not men who lived 200 years later.
The Gospel of Matthew was writen by Mathew son of Alphaeus.
The Gospel of Mark was writen by Mark who wrote down the narrative given by the Apostle Simon, called Peter.
The Gospel of Luke was writen by Luke, who wrote down the narrative given by the Apostle Paul, who was formerly called Saul.
The Gospel of John was writen by the Apostle John, son of Zebedee.
Apostle Paul wrote the pauline Epistles.
The general Epistles were writen by James (brother of Jesus), Peter, John, and Jude (also Jesus' brother).
John wrote Revelation.

I'm not buying it.
"We know virtually nothing about the persons who wrote the gospels we call Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
