Bering was tasked with writing a general history of Denmark, a work on reign of King Christian IV of Denmark and a work on recent events such as the assault on Copenhagen in 1659 and the institution of Absolutism in 1660. Neither of these were published prior to his death. His only publication was a critical work on England, "Orosij Annilonis dissertalio de bello Dano-Anglico" (1667), a defense of the Danish king's policy.
