There is also Systematic Theology , which organises and systematises the Bible s teachings under specific subject headings. A more recent development is Practical Theology which focuses particularly on Biblical ethics and exhortations. However, there is another branch of theology which, though popular with previous generations, has fallen out of favour in our day. It is called Worm Theology . This area of theology focuses on the Bible s description of all men and women as worms.
Worms have two main characteristics.
In the dirt Firstly, they live in the dirt. It was Job who began the study of Worm Theology . He saw that by nature and practice we are all like worms in the dirt. We are all defiled by living in the dirt of sin and, of ourselves, we have no hope of appearing clean in God s sight. Of course, this teaching does not go down well today.
