I will, by God's providence, have a J.D. in 2 years. At some point, if I'm ever in the financial situation to do so, I'd like to go to seminary for my own personal edification. What degrees are available for those whose endeavors are sheerly academic and don't want an M.A. from a secular graduate school?
I asked a similar question some time ago. The thread didn't go very far but Dr. Clark provided some helpful advice. Here it is if you'd like to check it out: link

This may explain the old adage about Baptists being Methodists with shoes, and Presbyterians being Baptists who can read. To round out the adage, Lutherans might qualify as Presbyterians who drink to excess, and Episcopalians as Lutherans who know when to say when. - D.G. Hart
