It's not really a simple question, Teddy. What does it mean to be an author?
In religious tradition, people have visions from God. If that person writes down a description, an interpretation of the vision sent from God, is God the author? Or only the person who received the communication and wrote about it?
If Jesus is God, and a disciple hears him speak, and the disciple does his best to write it down a few decades later- and maybe doesn't get the words exactly right, or mixes up the order of events - is Jesus the author of those words, or is the disciple?

The authorship of Job is interesting since it seems to take place on the edge or outside of the Hebrew world.  Then there's the question of whether it's by a single author, or an extended philosophical treatise set inside an old folk morality tale. 
The book of Hosea has a lot of emphasis on motherhood in it's imagery. Sometimes I wonder of it was written by a woman.
