Many religious scholars would freely state that both the Jewish Tanakh and the Christian Holy Bible are the inspired word of God recorded over approximately 2000 years by various writers. Many of these same scholars fail to accept the teachings from the Muslim Koran and Haddith, written well after the completion of both other books (circa 7th Century AD) as the same, though Muslims would fully disagree.
Then there are those scholars who would point out that each of these 3 religious books point to 'One God,' and how each is descendent (physically and/or spiritually) from Abraham. Also, many Jews and Muslims recognize the historical Jesus as a 'Prophet' from God. Jews do not recognize Him as the Messiah (still to come) and Muslims see Mohammed as the last and greater Prophet.

Therefore, in addition to being the Christian era, it is considered the "Common" era.
