F irst, a word of explanation. In this book I refer to dates using the abbreviation of BCE and CE. These abbreviations may not be familiar to some readers. BCE stands for before the Common Era. CE is an abbreviation for Common Era and replaces the perhaps more familiar AD.
Second, another word of explanation. You will note that the second of the seven events has a date inscribed as ca. 250 BCE*. The asterisk attached to a number looks a little unusual. At the beginning of chapter 2, I explain the asterisks function as signifying a date that is approximate, legendary, and a process.
Third, a word of appreciation. I want to thank Kendi Mohn and Amanda Henderson, two students at Brite Divinity School in Fort Worth, for their careful reading of the manuscript of this book. Their insightful feedback has been very helpful and has improved it considerably.
