‘Biblical’ Archeological Review: B.C.E., C.E. ?
Did they mean B.C. or A.D. ?
Hardly ‘Biblical’.
Become an archaeologist (that’s how it spelled, btw), and you can write your dates any way you want. Meanwhile, everyone on Earth knows exactly what the dates are.
Hardly Biblical...
Since the A.D./B.C. system was not invented until ~525 A.D. or C.E. It is not obvious that the numbering system is "Biblical".
And, in any event, Old Testament dates would be Jewish. The current Jewish year numbering system was not introduced until 1178 C.E., although very close systems were used as early as the 2 nd century C.E.
Since all new testament books were written before the 2 nd century C.E., it is not completely obvious what year numbering system the authors would have used.
I just don't see using C.E. and B.C.E. as either more or less "Biblical" than A.D. and B.C. And, at least it is consistent. The A.D./ B.C. nomenclature falls short in that area with A.D. being in Latin and B.C. being in English.
