PTHD
The Doctor of Pastoral Theology (abbreviated PThD for the Latin Pastoralis Theologiæ Doctor) is a theological professional degree geared to provide higher academic training to Christian clergy who have already entered the pastoral ministry and who seek to continue their work while pursuing further theological study.
The Doctor of Pastoral Theology (PThD) is comparable to the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) or the Doctor in Theology (Th.D.) in terms of its academic load and level of study, with a grade of research represented by its required doctoral dissertation project of up to two hundred pages. The said pre-approved dissertation is usually expected to relate and complement the doctorate candidate's ongoing field of work.
This qualification is normally studied at a Protestant institution in the US.
