LNC Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 A.D. 250 or 250 A.D. ? CLE LA says before, but I was just checking to be sure that wasn't a Mennonnite custom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I think technically it should come before. "In the year of our Lord 2012" makes sense. "2012 in the year of our Lord" not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathryn Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I think technically it should come before. "In the year of our Lord 2012" makes sense. "2012 in the year of our Lord" not so much. :iagree: but it seems to not be followed much, probably because of BCE/CE always coming after.

Ellie Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 :iagree: but it seems to not be followed much, probably because of BCE/CE always coming after. This could be true in secular sources, but you'd think Christians would figure it out, KWIM? The year of our Lord 2013. Really. :) I know I was taught AD comes before, BC comes after, but I suspect that it's just one more thing that schools are neglecting to teach. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
