What is B.C.E. and C.E.?
Before Common Era and Common Era. These are the same as B.C. (Before Christ) and A.D. (Anno Domini ‘Year of our Lord’ in Latin). Since the purpose of this site is to serve readers of all religions I have adopted this terminology because not everyone uses the birth of Christ as a reference point. The dates correspond to the civil calendar used by most Western countries. However, where B.C. and A.D. occur in scanned texts, I have not altered them.
