Do not fill this in! == Contrast with other religious degrees == A doctor of divinity should not be confused with a [[Doctor of Theology]] (Th.D.), the holder of a [[research doctorate]] in theology awarded by universities and [[divinity school]]s. However, many universities award a [[Doctor of Philosophy|Ph.D.]] rather than a Th.D. to graduates of higher-level religious studies programs. A [[Doctor of Sacred Theology]] (STD) holds another research doctorate, in particular awarded by Catholic [[pontifical university|pontifical universities]] and faculties. A [[Doctor of Ministry]] (D.Min.) holds another doctorate-level religious degree, which is a [[professional doctorate]] rather than a research doctorate.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://fuller.edu/dmin/|title=Doctor of Ministry - Fuller Seminary|website=Fuller Seminary}}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
