A.A.'s Foundations in the Bible - Thoroughly Documented

Was and is A.A. founded on the Bible? Answer - Yes, definitely. And the fact is thoroughly documented.

The basic ideas of Alcoholics Anonymous came from the study, effort, and teachings in the Bible that were going on from 1935 - a time when there were no Steps, no Traditions, no Big Books, and no meetings as we know them today. See Dr. Bob's own words in his last major address:

The Co-Founders of Alcoholics Anonymous: Biographical Sketches Their Last Major Talks (NY: Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc., 1972, 1975), 13-14.
