Throughout this paper we use the Bourbaki [1] conventions for rings and modules: all rings are associative but not necessarily commutative and have a 1; all modules are unital.

Our purpose is to extend and simplify some recent results of Maddox [7], Megibben [8], Enochs [3], and the author [5] on absolutely pure modules by introducing several new dimensions, and using the absolutely pure dimension introduced by the author in [6], This completes some work on character modules and dimension in [5] and [6].

An A -module will be called an FFR-module if and only if it has a resolution by finitely generated free A -modules.
