I agree. However, that doesn't stop some people from simplifying it to something along those lines.
> Please provide two examples from the Bible of clear and explicit claims about it's "author"
It's hard to proof-text this because the entire bible is to be taken as a whole. The NT quotes the OT and the OT is further revealed by the NT. But, here you go:
- Matt 22:31 - "have you not read what was said to you by God:" (and then quotes Exodus 3:6.
It is very clear that the readers of we call the OT would have understood that what was recorded was effectively "God speaking." The entire Pentateuch + Prophets is filled God speaking to various people.
- 2 Peter 1:21 For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
Simply affirming what we already would already know.
- John 5:39, 46 - "You search the Scriptures...it is they that bear witness about me," ... "for [Moses] wrote of me."

It had many writers, but a single author and all of those writers had a singular focus: Jesus, the Son of God.
