Lafayette Ronald
Hubbard (1911 –1986), often referred to by his initials LRH, was an American
author and the founder of the Church of Scientology.
After establishing a
career as a writer, becoming best known for his science fiction and fantasy
stories, he developed a system called Dianetics which was first expounded in
book form in May 1950. He subsequently developed his ideas into a wide-ranging
set of doctrines and practices as part of a new religious movement that he
called Scientology. His writings became the guiding texts for the Church of
Scientology and a number of affiliated organizations that address such diverse
topics as business administration, literacy and drug rehabilitation. The
Church's dissemination of these materials led to Hubbard being listed by the
Guinness Book of World Records as the most translated and published author in
the world.
