In this article, the author looks back at the Hobby Lobby case and shows the role of a desecularising theological scheme borrowed from Abraham Kuyper's apologetics, the "spheres of sovereignty" scheme. Long popular in the evangelical world and among members of the Christian right, this scheme has also been introduced into legal theory and philosophy of law, and it turns out that it was very well suited to the claims of the Green family, the multi-billionaires behind the Hobby Lobby case.
