She maintains that the Court cases cannot be understood separately from the context from which they arose and that legal factors are only part of a broader picture for a historical understanding of the Court and Establishment Clause cases.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emma Long\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472522524\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472522528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.61d","brand":"Emma Long","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48518583451903,"sku":"9781472522528","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_109f0c43-b23c-4ea9-8699-5c90f59a1bd5.jpg?v=1778734864","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-church-state-debate-emma-long-9781472522528","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
