A Crucial Theological Issue: Is God He or he?

September 9, 2010 by Dave Miller

At Truman Elementary School in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, I was taught that divine pronouns should always be capitalized. That was at a public school.

Now today, even modern Bible translations do not capitalize the divine pronouns.

Am I just a relic of the ancient past because I feel like God’s name should be honored, even by capitalizing pronouns referring to Him.

On the other hand, I know that if any publisher ever accepts a book I write, he or she will go through my manuscript and turn He and Him into he and him.

I’m interested in hearing other people’s perspectives on this.
