Synopses & Reviews
Brendan Powell Smith has spent the last decade creating nearly 5,000 scenes from the bible—with Legos. His wonderfully original sets are featured on his website, Bricktestament.com, but for the first time 1,500 photographs of these creative designs—depicting the Old Testament from Earths creation to the Books of Kings—are brought together in book format. The Holy Bible is complex; sometimes dark, and other times joyous, and Smiths masterful work is a far cry from what a small child might build. The beauty of
The Brick Bible is that everyone, from the devout to nonbelievers, will find something breathtaking, fascinating, or entertaining within this collection. Smiths subtle touch brings out the nuances of each scene and makes you reconsider the way you look at Legos—its something that needs to be seen to be believed.
