Dickb aa historian states
The Four Absolutes-More Revealed Comments by Dr. Bob's Wife Anne in Her Journal We've previously covered the origin of the Four Absolutes in Dr. Robert E. Speer's The Principles of Jesus and the expansion
of them in Professor Henry B. Wright's The Will of God and a Man's Lifework. And we will shortly produce another article with some of the more contemporary comments about the Absolutes (honesty, purity, unselfishness, and love) by Oxford Group writers and Dr. Bob while A.A. was shaping its program between 1935 and 1938.
