*abbreviated ‘CE’*
*aka ‘current era’*
.
(“common era” is a ‘calendar era’ that is often used as an alternative naming of the anno domini era (“in the year of the lord”))
(abbreviated “AD”)
.
(the system uses…)
BCE –> *abbreviation for “before the ‘common’ (or ‘current’) era”*
+
CE –> *an abbreviation for “common era”)
.
(the ‘CE/BCE designation’ uses the same ‘numeric values’ as the anno domini year-numbering system introduced by the 6th-century christian monk ‘dionysius exiguus’, intending the beginning of the life of ‘jesus’ to be the ‘reference date’)
.
(neither notation includes a ‘year zero’ and the 2 notations (CE/BCE + AD/BC) are ‘numerically equivalent’)
(‘2016 CE’ corresponds to ‘AD 2016’)
(‘400 BCE’ corresponds to ‘400 BC’)
.
(the ‘gregorian calendar’ + the ‘year-numbering system’ associated with it is the ‘calendar system’ with most widespread use in the world today)
(for decades, it has been the ‘global standard’, recognized by ‘international institutions’ such as ‘the united nations’ + the ‘universal postal union’)
(the expression ‘common era’ can be found as early as ‘1708’ in english, and traced back to ‘latin usage’ among ‘european christians’ to ‘1615’, as vulgaris aerae + to ‘1635’ in english as vulgar era)
(at those times, the expressions were all used interchangeably with ‘christian era’)
(use of the ‘CE abbreviation’ was introduced by ‘jewish academics’ in the ‘mid-1800s’)
(since the ‘later 20th century’, use of ‘CE’ + ‘BCE’ has been popularized in ‘academic’ + ‘scientific’ publications and more generally by ‘authors’ and ‘publishers’ wishing to emphasize ‘secularism’ or ‘sensitivity’ to ‘non-christians’, because it does not explicitly make use of ‘religious titles’ for ‘jesus’, such as “christ” and dominus (“lord”), which are used in the ‘BC’ / ‘AD’ notation…)
(…nor does it give ‘implicit expression’ to the ‘christian creed’ that ‘jesus’ is the ‘christ’)
