There's a Point to it - Book Order
About
Written by award-winning South Australian historian, Samuel Doering, 'There's a Point to it' positions Immanuel Church as one of the most significant Lutheran centres in the state’s history. It was here that Immanuel College was founded before later moving to Novar Gardens. The congregation also gave its name to Immanuel Seminary and Immanuel Church in North Adelaide, and has served as a spiritual home to generations of influential pastors, including Martin Stolz, Friedrich Leidig, Julius Rechner, and Heinrich and Henry Proeve.'There’s a Point to It' uncovers a story far more dramatic than many might expect from a quiet Mid-North congregation. Drawing on extensive archival research, the book reveals ambitious founders, theological conflict, wartime pressures, educational innovation, and moments of both spiritual devotion and social upheaval - including episodes of literal door-bashing violence!
