I think I've isolated the problem here: you don't know how to conjugate the verb "to rise".

Rise-rose-risen. Let me repeat: Risen is the past participle of rise.

"He rises from the dead."
"He rose from the dead."
"He has risen from the dead."

And when "from the dead" is understood:
"He has risen."

In this case, you are using "has" as a transitive verb which requires a direct object, which means you would have to have a noun following "has." Risen is not a noun.

To reiterate, "has" is, in this case, a helping verb.

Both sentences are grammatically correct.
