Transcendentalism was a philosophical movement of the nineteenth century that was characterized by the beliefs set forth Ralph Waldo Emerson's essay "Nature." Emerson characterized the "transcendentalist", in general, as a person who displayed a "tendency to respect [his] intuitions." Transcendentalism came about as a result of theological discussions that began during the mid 1830s by a group of diverse individuals who came to be known as "The Transcendental Club."

The emergence of the Transcendentalists as an identifiable movement took place during the late 1820s and 1830s, but the roots of their religious philosophy extended much farther back into American religious history. Transcendentalism and evangelical Protestantism followed separate evolutionary branches from American Puritanism, taking as their common ancestor the Calvinism of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In exploring their respective departures from Calvinism we can begin to map out the common ground the two movements shared.
