Dr. Murphy, Joseph (20 May 1898-16 Dec. 1981), religious leader and writer, was born Joseph Denis Murphy in County Cork, Ireland, the son of Denis Murphy, the head of a Jesuit boys school called the National School of Ireland, and Ellen Connolly. Denis Murphy was one of the few laymen to teach in a church school in Ireland and was a deacon in the Roman Catholic Church. Joseph grew up in a devout religious home, attending his father’s school and preparing to study for the priesthood, but he began to have doubts about church doctrine in his late teens and withdrew from the seminary. At around this time he experienced the healing of a malignancy, a recovery that he attributed to personal prayer, and this proved a turning point in his spiritual life.
Determined to explore new ideas, he moved to the United States in 1922. When the United States entered World War I, he closed his successful business to join the army and served as a pharmacist in the medical unit of the 88th Infantry Division until 1918.
Murphy had been interested in religion since the medical recovery he associated with prayer, and while in the army he began to read about various faiths. When he returned to civilian life he abandoned pharmacology for travel and study, making trips to Europe and Asia to investigate other spiritual systems. In New York he began attending services at the Church of the Healing Christ, a part of the Church of Divine Science, one of the major denominations of the growing spiritual movement known as New Thought. An important influence on his thinking at this time was Thomas Troward (1847-1916), a British author whose books on spiritual metaphysics had a profound effect on the New Thought movement. Troward’s involvement with
Freemasonry led Murphy to become active in the order, in whose ranks he was to reach the 32nd degree. In the mid1940s Murphy moved to Los Angeles, where he met Ernest Shurtleff Holmes (1887-1960), the founder of Religious Science, another branch of New Thought. This pioneer self-help writer, the author of the hugely successful book Creative Mind and Success (1919), guided Murphy to a fulltime study of Religious Science and in 1946 he was ordained a minister of that denomination and began teaching at its Institute of Religious Science.
He later met Erwin Gregg, the president of the Association of Divine Science and, drawn back to that faith, he was reordained to its ministry in 1949. He became the director of the Church of Divine Science in Los Angeles; soon it had the largest congregation of any of that denomination’s churches in the United States, with lectures attended by 1,300 to 1,500 people every Sunday. He also broadcast a weekly radio program to an audience said to exceed a million listeners. His sermons, lectures, and radio broadcasts were so popular that he summarized them in church bulletins and, to reach a larger audience, began to record and sell cassette tapes of them. During that decade he returned to school, earning a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Southern California.
Described by one of his publishers as “prosperity writer extraordinaire, Murphy made a direct appeal to his followers’ ambitions for wealth. His How to Attract Money, originally published as a fifty-two-page pamphlet in 1957, asserts in its promotional literature, “It is your right to be rich. You are here to lead the abundant life, and to be happy, radiant, and free. You should therefore have all the money you need to lead a full, happy, prosperous life.” Murphy later published Riches Are Your Right (1958) and Your Infinite Power to Be Rich (1966). His subject matter was not limited to financial success, however; his themes ranged widely across the spectrum of Eastern and Western thought, drawing from both his personal studies of Divine Science and Asian religions and his formal education in
clinical psychology. He discussed personal relations (Love Is Freedom, 1948), emotional serenity (Peace within Yourself, 1956); Asian divination (Secrets of the “I Ching,” 1970), and the paranormal (Psychic Perception: The Magic of Extrasensory Perception, 1971). Of all his more than thirty books, nothing he wrote was more successful than the selfhelp manual The Power of Your Subconscious Mind (1963), which promises in its introduction to “lift you up from confusion, misery, melancholy, and failure, and guide you to your true place, solve your difficulties, sever you from emotional and physical bondage, and place you on the royal road to freedom, happiness, and peace of mind” An instant best-seller, it sold more than ten million copies in twenty-six languages during its author’s lifetime.
