His research focuses on the history of political thought, and particularly on the interconnections between religious and political theory and practice in the Anglo-American tradition. His current work explores the life, political career, and political thought of William Penn, and he is the author of Liberty, Conscience, and Toleration: The Political Thought of William Penn (Oxford, 2016).
Murphy has recently co-authored, with David S. Gutterman, Political Religion and Religious Politics: Navigating Identities in the United States (Routledge, 2015). He is the author of Prodigal Nation: Moral Decline and Divine Punishment from New England to 9/11 (Oxford, 2009) and Conscience and Community: Revisiting Toleration and Religious Dissent in Early Modern England and America (Penn State, 2001). He has edited several volumes, including The Political Writings of William Penn (Liberty Fund, 2002); Religion, Politics, and American Identity: New Directions, New Controversies, with David Gutterman (Lexington, 2006); and A Companion to Religion and Violence (Blackwell, 2011).
