The story may be more complicated than that, but that's what I've found so far. Not sure when, how, by whom or for what reason the abbreviations BCE and CE were introduced. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 21:22, 20 December 2006 (EST)

:That's fascinating material.  Thanks.  Maybe I'm obsessed with this, but it does seem odd that a phrase recently pushed by schools, Wikipedia writers and tests has unknown origin.  It's not even in the 1972 dictionary!!!  In a current dictionary, it's defined as a substitute for BC/AD without any reference to Jewish people.  My quote from the online rabbi shows Judaism is not the source.
