Revised Version Sabbath Saviour Scriptures Son of Man Son Spirit The Trinity The Virgin Mary Word Care needs to be taken with words of this class. Particular attention should be paid to the wording of rule 2, just given. The same words in other senses or other connections are not capitalized. _Heaven_ and _hell_ and derived adjectives are not capitalized in their ordinary uses: Adjectives and other derivatives from these words are not capitalized. We write _Messiah_, but _messianic_ and _messiahship_; _Christology_ but _christological_, _fatherhood_, _sonship_, and the like. Such words as _deity_, _god_, and the like are not capitalized where any but the God of the Bible is referred to. 3. Pronouns referring to God, Christ, or the Holy Spirit in direct address or where there might otherwise be ambiguity. These pronouns are not capitalized in the Bible. They are generally capitalized in hymn books and books of devotion. These pronouns were formerly all capitalized as a mark of respect to God whenever there was any mention of him, even indirect. The tendency is more and more to eliminate them except in the second person (direct address). In view of the change now going on it is best to follow copy if the author appears to have decided preferences. 4. Books, divisions, and versions of the Bible. _Book of Job_, _Twenty-third Psalm_, _New Testament_, _Revised Version_. 5. General biblical terms and titles of parables. _The Law_, _The Prophets_, _Major and Minor Prophets_ (referring to the collections of prophetic books), _Lord's Prayer_, _Lord's Supper_, _Parable of the Prodigal Son_, _the Beatitudes_, _the Priestly Code_ and many other such terms. Use lower-case for _biblical_ and _scriptural_. 6. Capitalize _Holy_ in _Holy place_ and _Holy of holies_. Say _Gospel of John_, but speak of the _gospel message_. 7. The names of religious bodies and their followers. _Catholic_, _Protestant_, _Unitarian_, _Methodist_, _Buddhists_, _Taoists_, _Lamas_. 8. The names of monastic orders and their followers. _Jesuits_, _Brothers of the Common Life_, _Recollets_, _Crutched Friars_, _Cowley Fathers_. 9. The word Church when it stands for the Church universal or is a part of the name of some particular denomination or organization. _For salvation he sought the Church._ _The Church of Rome._ _The First Pre
