Interviewing Museum of Bible President on BCE Dating, 2026 Exhibits

Thanks for joining us. The genesis of this study was Vol. 297: "Biblical Time Keeping – BC and AD Versus BCE and CE," published on December 7, 2025. Let's review these initials: The traditional BC means "Before Christ," paired with AD, meaning "Anno Domini"—Latin for "in the year of the Lord." Today, in the media, we more often see and hear BCE, meaning "Before the Common Era," and CE, short for "Common Era." I quickly discovered that readers held strong opinions about the growing use of nontraditional dating.
