A century of faith, scholarship, and community comes alive in Venture of Faith: A Centenary History of St John's College, The University of Queensland, a meticulously researched institutional history that chronicles the founding ideals, triumphs, and challenges of one of Queensland's most enduring collegiate traditions. Paul Nicholls traces the arc of St John's College from its earliest days as a bold religious and academic undertaking — a genuine venture of faith — through a full century of growth, change, and resilience within the broader landscape of the University of Queensland. Nicholls presents this centenary chronicle with both scholarly rigour and warm narrative clarity, drawing on archival sources to illuminate the personalities, ecclesiastical vision, and community spirit that shaped the College's identity across generations. The result is a work that speaks not only to alumni and historians of Australian higher education, but to anyone who appreciates the interplay between faith, learning, and the formation of civic character — leaving the reader to wonder what the next century of this storied institution might yet hold.
