But do not capitalize words like "book," "gospel," "epistle," "psalm" in such connections as—
the five books of Moses, the first forty psalms, the gospels and epistles of the New Testament, [the synoptic problem, the synoptists], the biblical apocalypses.
the parable of the Prodigal Son.
Last Supper, Eucharist, the Passion, the Twelve (apostles), the Seventy (disciples), the Servant, the Day of Yahweh, the Chronicler, the Psalmist, the Golden Rule.
In summer, on the headlands,
The Baltic Sea along.
Sits Neckan, with his harp of gold.
And sings his plaintive song.
In Greek and Latin poetry, however, capitalize only the first word of a paragraph, not of each verse (line):
Τοῖσι δ’ ἀοιδὸς ἄειδε περικλυτός, οἱ δὲ σιωπῇ
εἕατ' ἀκούοντες· ὁ δ’ Ἀχαιῶν νόστον ἄειδεν,
λυγρόν, ὃν ἐκ Τροίης ἐπετείλατο Παλλὰς Ἀθήνη.
τοῦ δ’ ὑπερωιόθεν φρεσὶ σύνθετο θέσπιν ἀοιδὴν
κούρη Ἰκορίοιο, περίφρων Πηνελόπεια·
Talia praefantes quondam felida Pelei
carmina diuino cecinerunt pectore Parcae
praesentes: namque ante domos inuisere castas
heroum et sese mortali ostendere coetu
caelicolae nondum spreta pietate solebant.
