Moses is regarded as the author.


Moses did not write any books that we know of. Rather (to quote Answers.com), " ... the Pentateuch was composed from four main sources: J---the source that uses the Tetragrammaton for the name of God, transcribed YHWH (see http://www.answers.com/topic/ha-shem); E---the source the uses the name EIohim; P---the priestly code (primarily Leviticus); D---the Deuteronomistic source. Some claim to identify a JE source, one combining the first two enumerated above and appearing mainly from Exodus on. The view of different sources for the Pentateuch is also based among other things on the duplication of stories, such as the two accounts of the Creation (Gen. 1:1-2:3 and 2:4-24), or the taking of Sarah by Abimelech as recorded in Genesis 20 (E source) and the taking of Rebekah by Abimelech in Genesis 26 (J source)."

Actually, the first FIVE books of The Bible are called the 'Pentateuch' (meaning '5 rolls'), and though nothing explicitly says who wrote them, there are clues throughout the Bible (Exodus 17:14 / Exodus 24:4 / Exodus 34:27/Numbers 33:2/ Deuteronomy 31:9,19,22,24-26/Joshua 1:7/ Judges 3:4/2Kings 18:6/ Malachi 4:4). Based on these, and many other citations, the writer is commonly believed to have been Moses (Mark 10:3-5/ John 5:46+47 / Mark 12:18+19).
