The introduction is just perfect the way it is.
Before edits by user 174.28.120.116 today, there were three uses of CE and two of AD in dates in the body of this article. The IP user changed two of the CEs to ADs, so now it's 4 ADs and one CE. I really have little opinion on which way this should go, but it would be best to be consistent. I was bold and changed the last CE to AD.Rwessel (talk)18:57, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This article may have started from a crib of theEB 11 article, which was a gutting of themuch more thoroughEB 9 article:
There's obviously more modern scholarship, but there might be lines that were simply copied that should be attributed and theEB 9 article is a good source for the traditional views in the 19th century, based on the surviving textual resources. See also theEB 11's article on the Bible, which has detailed sections on the canon:

In the lead, Polycarp's name appears between two full-stops without any further explanation. That makes little sense. Unless someone can clarify why the name is mentioned, it should be deleted.Nikolaj1905 (talk)12:17, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
