According to Christian tradition, more than half of the NT was written by people who did not know Jesus personally. 10 out of the 27 books of the NT are attributed to apostles or family members of Jesus.
Modern scholars doubt the authorship of most of the NT, although about half of the Pauline epistles are generally considered to be authentic.

You mean the part where He was in an unglorified body, right?
He's alive and well right now, and has been since He rose from the dead. Many people met him after He rose from the dead, and many including me have met Him recently. Having seen Him alive after He was tortured to death before their very eyes is why they were so excited about Him...and He hasn't died again in the meantime.
Everyone who wrote NT scripture met Him, it's just that some didn't meet Him until after He rose from the dead.

Best I remember, Paul wrote most of the NT and never met Jesus in person. Jesus came to Paul (after He ascended to Heaven, when Paul was called Saul) on the road to Damascus. Paul was blinded until he obeyed.

A pretty good piece of it: Paul wrote the majority of the NT, and he didn't see Jesus until after his resurrection to heavenly glory. The only Bible writers who were personally acquainted with Jesus were Matthew, John, Jude, and Peter. The rest of the NT was written by Luke (his Gospel and Acts) Mark, and Paul. Of course, we don't know for a fact that Mark and Luke did or did not make contact with Jesus during his lifetime.
Did I leave anybody out?

Easier question: how much of it was written by people who DID meet and get to know Jesus during his lifetime? Very possibly none at all. And even if we count the gospels supposedly written by original apostles, or even their letters and so forth, they have been translated and interpreted so much since that we have no way of knowing how much has been changed.
And don't tell me "Bible scholars know," because they don't agree.

As nobody knows who wrote it this is an impossible question to answer.
For example,I see many people have named Matthew,Mark,Luke and John.
Biblical scholars almost unanimously agree that the gospels attributed to them were NOT written by those men.

A lot of it. Paul never met Jesus (assuming Jesus existed). The authorship of the gospels is unknown (despite traditional attributions), and they were all composed well after Paul's letters, so there might be no eyewitness accounts of Jesus' life whatsoever (again, assuming he existed).

Everything written by Paul (formerly known as Saul) whicjh is a large portion of it.
In the book of Acts, we learn that Saul who used to persecute the church had a divine revelation. Afterwhich, he became a Christian and preached from sea to sea. his name was changed to Paul.

None. Paul did meet Him, just not conventionally. And, since Paul was a Pharisee, He was likely to have at least seen Jesus in His travels, since pharisees were interested to hear of someone popularly speaking of God's Kingdom.
