Kuyper’s Theory
The influence of Calvinism in our political development ... sprang from its root principle ... The Sovereignty of the Triune God over the whole Cosmos, in all its spheres and kingdoms, visible and invisible ...
![Page 30: Rels. 205 Lecture 3.1 Neo-Calvinism as a Political Tradition](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814e75550346895dbc0f91/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Sphere Sovereignty
In a Calvinistic sense we understand hereby, that the family, the business, science, art and so forth are all social spheres, which do not owe their existence to the state, and which do not derive the law of their life from the superiority of the state, but obey a high authority within their own bosom; an authority which rules, by the grace of God, just as the sovereignty of the State does.

Kuyper’s Thesis
This involves the antithesis between State and Society, but upon this condition, that we do not conceive this society as a conglomerate, but as analyzed in its organic parts, to honor, in each of these parts, the independent character, which appertains to them ...
![Page 35: Rels. 205 Lecture 3.1 Neo-Calvinism as a Political Tradition](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814e75550346895dbc0f91/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Mechanistic and Organic
These different developments of social life have nothing above themselves but God, and... the State cannot intrude here ... Keep in mind the difference in grade between the organic life of society and the mechanical character of the government. Whatever among men originates directly from creation is possessed of all the data for its development, in human nature as such. You see this at once in the family ...
