Neo-Calvinism

Neo-Calvinism is a theological and philosophical worldview that emphasizes God's sovereignty over all aspects of life, encouraging believers to actively and responsibly shape culture—such as arts, science, and society—according to biblical principles. Originating in the early 20th century from Dutch theologian Abraham Kuyper, it advocates that God's reign extends beyond the church into every domain, inspiring Christians to influence society positively, promote justice, and view all work as a calling from God. It balances a strong trust in God's sovereignty with a commitment to cultural engagement and transformation.
