jh343r09c7t	Nicholas Patrick Miller	The Religious Roots of the First Amendment: Dissenting Protestantism and the Separation of Church and State	2010		.txt	text/plain	229	8	34	This dissertation argues that commitments by certain dissenting Protestants to the right of private judgment in matters of Biblical interpretation, an outgrowth of the doctrine of the priesthood of all believers, helped promote religious liberty and religious disestablishment in the early modern West. The dissertation aims to show that religion played more than a pragmatic role in contributing to religious disestablishment in America.	cache/jh343r09c7t.txt	txt/jh343r09c7t.txt
