: A lot of people consider Emerson to be a : transcendentalis, but I believe him to be a religous, : or spiritual, writer. A couple of months ago we read : some of self reliance in school and i got hooked. : my friend got me a book for Christmas. They, of : course, taught us that he was a transcendentalist. As : I started to read his book, The Essential Writings of : Ralph Waldo Emerson, I realized that he was realy into : religion. Many of you will say that that is just : because of his past. Well, I've heard people that have : been turned away from religion and they certainly don't : talk like that about it. He refers to God so much in : his writing, in a good way. I'm a Christian and his : writing really hits home. It reflects what the Bible : says, exactly. Why he turned away from the church, I'm : not sure. He was around at the end of the purist age : and I don't even agree with them, so he might of : turned away from the church because of that. His Aunt, : who was a hippicritical purist, also had a negative : empact on him. Any combination of these and other : problems could have turned him away from the church. : I believe that he turned away from the church, but : deffinitely not God and his writings prove that.
