"Common Era" is the non-sectarian term used to replace "Anno Domini" (i.e., in the year of the Lord) referring in biblical terms to time after the birth of Christ. "B.C.E." refers to time "Before the Common Era" which is the comparable revision of "B.C." meaning "Before Christ."

Common Era (CE) is a secular designation used to refer to the years following the traditionally recognized birth year of Jesus Christ. It is an alternative to the religious designation of Anno Domini (AD), which means "in the year of our Lord." In Biblical terms, CE is often used by scholars and historians to provide a neutral dating system and avoid religious connotations.
