The author cites the Bible but uses the new age dating term “B.C.E.” (before common era) rather than “B.C.” (before Christ). I can’t stand that. Sorry

Observant Jews use C.E. and B.C.E. quite often, as well.

Think of it as "Before Christ existed." Talk about it that way, too. We have to fight back when people try to make the language PC.
