An introduction and commentary on the four letters traditionally said to have been written by Paul in prison, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians and Philemon, published by Oxford University Press in 1976 in the New Clarendon Bible. The commentary is keyed to the Revised Standard Version, but the text of the letters is not printed in the volume. It runs to about 230 pages with a bibliography and index, and was reprinted in paperback. Caird was Principal of Mansfield College, Oxford, when it appeared, and had written on Pauline theology since Principalities and Powers twenty years before. No copy was examined for this record, so his conclusions on the letters' authorship and setting are not described here.
