=== Neo-Calvinism === {{Main|Neo-Calvinism}} [[File:Abraham Kuyper 1905 (1).jpg|thumb|upright=0.8|Dutch prime minister [[Abraham Kuyper]] initiated [[Neo-Calvinism]].]] Beginning in the 1880s, Neo-Calvinism, a form of [[Dutch Reformed Church|Dutch Calvinism]], is the movement initiated by the theologian and later Dutch prime minister [[Abraham Kuyper]]. [[James Bratt]] has identified a number of different types of Dutch Calvinism: The Seceders—split into the Reformed Church "West" and the Confessionalists; and the Neo-Calvinists—the Positives and the Antithetical Calvinists. The Seceders were largely [[infralapsarian]] and the Neo-Calvinists usually [[supralapsarian]].<ref>{{cite book |first=James |last=Bratt |title=Dutch Calvinism in Modern America |publisher=[[Wipf and Stock]]; original Eerdmans |date=1984}}</ref> Kuyper wanted to awaken the church from what he viewed as its pietistic slumber. He declared: <blockquote>No single piece of our mental world is to be sealed off from the rest and there is not a square inch in the whole domain of human existence over which Christ, who is sovereign over all, does not cry: 'Mine!'<ref>James E. McGoldrick, ''Abraham Kuyper: God's Renaissance Man.'' (Welwyn, UK: Evangelical Press, 2000).</ref> </blockquote> This refrain has become something of a rallying call for Neo-Calvinists.
