A century of faith, education, and community spirit comes alive in With Wings: A Centenary History of Immanuel College, Adelaide, 1895-1995, a richly detailed institutional chronicle authored by D.E. and I.V. Hansen. This commemorative work traces the full arc of Immanuel College's history — from its modest Lutheran foundations in late nineteenth-century Adelaide through to its centenary year in 1995 — presenting the people, events, and values that shaped one of South Australia's most distinguished independent schools. The authors chronicle the college's evolution against the broader backdrop of Australian social, cultural, and religious history, illuminating how a small faith community built an enduring educational institution of remarkable significance. Written with meticulous research and evident affection for the subject, With Wings is both a work of local history and a testament to the Lutheran community's lasting contribution to Australian education. Hansen and Hansen draw on archival sources, personal testimonies, and institutional records to present a narrative that is at once scholarly and warmly human in tone. For alumni, educators, historians of religion, and anyone captivated by the story of community and tradition in South Australia, this centenary volume raises a compelling question: what does it truly mean to build a legacy that endures across generations?
