An abridged Bible he co-edited in 1951; the selection, not his own writing, is the work.

An abridged English Bible published by Oxford University Press in 1951, 476 pages, its title page reading "abridged and edited by G. W. Briggs, G. B. Caird and N. Micklem". Caird had trained for the Congregational ministry at Mansfield College, Oxford. The volume selects and arranges the biblical text rather than translating it afresh. No copy was examined for this record, so the version used and the principles of selection are not described here.
