Older Usages
This degree was formerly awarded as Sacrae Theologiae Professor (S.T.P.), making it one of the rare degrees of Professor. Inscriptions can be found in many British cathedrals that use this abbreviation to denote holders of the degree of Doctor of Divinity (D.D.); the practice of denoting this degree as S.T.P. or S.T.D. has now died out.
