In the original Judeo-Christian scriptures there was no capitalisation of personal pronouns, including that of God, for the simple reason that there was no capitalisation at all. The real question is not when did it cease but when did it begin? It is a custom or tradition of church history, or even of the wider culture of 'Christendom' and not of the foundation documents of Christianity or Judaism. Surely what you say about God is more important than whether you say it about Him or him?
