You mean the Year 1, B.C.? That year?

1AD is the year following 1BC.

What do you suppose it was called at the time. Seems like the Jewish calendar goes back a lot further than that. Perhaps you should say that _Christians_ use those dates. Lots of folks don't.

Thanks. My thinking was that Year 1 started on Christs first birthday, making the year he was born zero. But that would give us an extra year in the first century. Doesn't work.

In the Western Calendar number system 1 - 1 = -1
