No it is not. He/Him/His are only captilized at the beginning of a sentence, and the occasional clause, in the Bible…from an agnostic that actually read the Bible and was raised in a Lutheran and Catholic family.
Apparently none of you use King Jame’s? Or Geneva? Basically, those cover about 75% of the english Bible market, and neither capitalize pronouns on a regular basis when referring to God.
Pronouns. Pronouns referring to God or Jesus are not capitalized. (Note that they are lowercased in most English translations of the Bible.) *
The same practice with pronouns is spelled out in the stylebooks of the Associated Press, The New York Times and the Catholic News Service.
Before the zealots come swarming through their sally ports, let me point out that this practice has little or nothing to do with multiculturalism, and certainly not any kind of campaign by the wicked secular media to derogate Christianity. It is simply one example of the tendency in written English over the past century to reduce the frequency of capitalization.** For example, few newspapers any longer capitalize president in references to the U.S. chief executive unless the title immediately precedes a name.
So the Register is simply following what has become a convention over the past several decades.
* It might also be noted that they are not always capitalized in the original texts, either, since Hebrew does not have capital letters.
