If a capital letter is used for "He", when talking about God, then it would be quite clear who is being spoken about. I'm really surprised that academics have abandoned the practice of referring to God in a special way. It seems rather casual!

I am so glad other people feel the same way.  He is how it is written in most bibles, haven't come across any that use lower case, as the other writer points out use of the capital H makes it very clear we are talking about God. What are we meant to do when quoting scripture?? Think we had better have words with Jesus, for referring to God as Father, very gender specific! I don't see why we should be marked down because we use a capital H, does it make me a bad student of the bible, if I use the same style of the bible? 

Oh well, anything to weed out the non conformists, that may not quite see gender issues the same way as the college does (jokes. . .or am I?)
