Proving The Resurrection By the Minimal Facts Approach

[Mudhammam]

The Church gathered together a committee of expert forgers who worked with expert Greek-speaking novelists fluent in 1st-century Hellenistic Jewish theology and geopolitics who then collaborated to create a series of fictional narratives within a fictional narrative before killing everyone involved so that the conspiracy would forever elude historians! 

That works!

Except for a couple of plot threads that still seem loose? Why would Paul convert to Christianity before the book was finished? Or James?

They're just fictional characters that were dreamed up (and inserted into Josephus) to lend credibility to the Church's authority, which it of course derived from Peter rabbit!
