When Kuyper met Hegel

Thesis. As Abraham Kuyper once said, "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!'"

Antithesis. We might also say that there is another statement which is true: "There is not a square inch in the whole domain of human existence over which rebellious human nature does not cry: 'Mine!'"

Synthesis. Total depravity is why we need a Saviour who is all-in-all.
