Yes, it’s the real name, and a common degree. In some American Christian denominations it’s a prerequisite for ordination.

I have a friend whose daughter-in-law is working on her MDiv at Yale.

[FaithAndReason]

It's the real name. My favorite is if you get your doctorate, it's sometimes called a DMin (Demon) ? Doctorate of Ministry

With that length of time I'd expect the students to become divine upon completion!

Divine pains in the arses. Oh right he already has that down pat that and pompous.

I had to stop by because I have friends who live in Aruba & one of them keeps posting about JINJER coming to the island & getting tickets. JINJER is Ukrainian metalcore band from Donetsk, Ukraine. It just made me laugh that this was the band’s name & they play metalcore. Jing needs some JINJER in her life. Lol.

What was his undergrad in? I know he professes a love of classics but was that his major? (Obvious snark of his major being arrogance and minor being intolerance aside).

Not a joke, I too am a Master of Divinity..

This must be how David Waller became a pastor. 

[OldFadedStar]

So, Jeremy was doing a q&a and he was asked if he believes in KJV only and his response was “Nooooooooooooooooo”. He recommends eSV or NASB which are actually the most accurate texts of the Bible. 
This means Jinger is probably reading these versions of the Bible at least some what. 
I know it isn’t a big step at all but it is a step. It puts the Bible in a more understandable language for Jinger which will help her grow into hopefully a less hateful Christian ala Jill. 
 

before anyone downvotes me or anything, yes this is probably not much more different than them wearing pants. But changing from KJV only means that they will be able to have more of their own thoughts about what they are reading because they will understand it more. 

[clueliss]

Of course he does.  McArthur has study bibles in NASB & ESV (and I think I have a McArthur ESV on the shelf in the next room)

[Idlewild]

For the moment I don’t see Jinger developing any thoughts that aren’t pre approved by Jeremy. 

[Knight of Ni]

I tried making divinity before and it was a complete disaster.  But if you ever want something that's the consistency of sheetrock mud hit me up.

I don’t disagree with you there. I see Jessa and Jill having their own thoughts before I see Joy and Jinger. I believe Joy still does KJV too

KJV only is just so irrational. If the Duggars were KJV only this might encourage her to question the fundie received wisdom at least a little, and if the door is open a crack any stiff wind might blow things wide open. And while it might be scary to tiptoe away from Jeremy, some day it might occur to her that if her dad was wrong about some things, maybe her husband is as well. 
  At the very least, she’s raising her kids in a bigger world than she had known growing up.

Confused her with Jill.

Jinger switched off KJV at marriage as did Jill.

It's a known step from fundiedom to regular conservative.

My grandmother used to make it and do it well.  There was secret to it she said and taught me.  But pre-schooler me did not retain the lesson.

I learned that you shouldn't try to make divinity if the humidity was high. Always trust my grandma.

[PennySycamore]

@Not that josh's mom,  I was just going to say that!  It's better to not make any candy on humid days, but divinity is definitely in that category.  

[Pecansforeveryone]

My grandma wasn't big on sweets. She preferred naked cake. I have fond memories of her making divinity. 

[fluffernutter]

My great grandmother made this at Christmas but she called them walnut kisses and made them with black walnuts. She was a master at divinity. ? I don't have her recipe. I've tried making it from another recipe, but they never turned out. Oh, to get my hands on a true walnut kiss.

It’s a homemade American candy: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divinity_(confectionery)

It came up as a pun on Jeremy’s academic program.

[moreorlessnu]

I tried to make divinity once and was not successful despite whipping my Kitchen-Aid mixer into a frenzy (and I knew not to attempt it on a humid day).  Someone told me about their relative who used to make wonderful divinity whipping it by hand with a whisk.

I am not worthy.

It sounds yummy. Is it popular? Or do people have a love hate relationship with it?

My mom couldn't bake, but she made a great divinity.

I think my mom learned how to make growing up in the DR, but I could be wrong. The one thing she did learn from there that they use all the time is Dominican merengue, which they call suspiro. She used to make it for me as a child and feed it to me as a treat.

My grandmother said to cut brownies with a plastic knife. I've always done so.  We just don't question these things.

It’s kind of old fashioned. Not many people make it anymore, unless it’s had some Pinterest revival that no one told me about. Personally, I’ve always lived in areas with high humidity, which ruins it, so I’m not entirely sure I’ve ever had it. No love/hate relationship of the sort that people have with licorice.
