It is possible that the Doctor title comes from the theology degree Martin
Luther had, as a monk. He was a scholar, if I am not mistaken? And back
then, all Church scholars were referred to as "Doctors of the Church".
BTW, MLK was a doctor of law, medicine, or other? Just curious,

According to Jojo (see previous postings in this thread), you are correct.

A quick search online reveals that MLK received a doctorate in systematic
theology in 1955 from Boston University.
