Published and Unpublished Works By
John Courtney Murray, S.J.
Compiled at
Woodstock Jesuit Theological Library
Georgetown University
Below is a listing of all the published and some unpublished works of the American theologian, John Courtney Murray. S.J. As you can see, most listed items are linked to copies of the identified work. This site is a task in process. Eventually all of Murray's writings will be linked to this page with suitable search engines for academic research.
Murray's works are arranged chronologically, then, within each year, alphabetically. Items within the same year are differentiated by lettered extensions to the year date of publication. We have attempted to keep the date-letter references consistent with the bibliographies of Murray, 1993, Religious Liberty: Catholic Struggles and 1994, Bridging the Sacred and the Secular, although the addition of five discovered published works and inclusion of several unpublished manuscripts has required some adjustments of those bibliographies. Our thanks to those who in the past have offered corrections and additions to this bibliography, and a request that any discovered errors or additions to this list be submitted to Adrian Vaagenes at av762@georgetown.edu. The Murray Archives are a portion of the Woodstock College Archives that are housed in Special Collections, Lauinger Library, Georgetown University. The first number of the x-xxx archive labels are to a box, the second to a file.
The various processed states of each article is indicated by bracketed notes to ourselves, as [get, xeroxed, scanned, proofed, edited, formatted].
