[Faith-talk] A Historical Bible Question, If I May Post It

[Linda Mentink]

Paul, you probably can't get an answer because no one knows. You'd 
have to ask the authors or the publishers of these modern versions. 
My guess would be that they don't have the proper respect for God, 
and therefore don't care to capitalize the names of the Trinity.

Blessings,

Linda
