World´s Largest Visual Bible Brought to Life with LEGOs

Ever wonder what the worlds largest, most comprehensive illustrated Bible is? The answer: The Brick Testament, one mans labour of love to bring the word to life through LEGO building blocks.

Over the last eight years, Brenden Powell Smith has relied solely on LEGOs to bring 400 stories and 4,450 illustrations of the Bible to life. But it wasnt easy: Smith spent thousands of dollars and countless hours constructing and photographing his vision all by himself.

The Brick Testament has also morphed into its own book set, as well, complete with printed works on The Ten Commandments, Book of Genesis and the Story of Christmas.
Whatever the medium, The Brick Testament is proof that with a little creativity--and a whole lot of LEGOs--any story can come to life.

This seems to slip strait past most Christians. I don't know, maybe its because although most Christians like to know the bible exists, they don't actually like reading it too much. And the same goes for the Brick Testament. Or maybe it really is true that religion and a knowledge of irony cannot coexist in the same person.

OK...you do realize the guy is an atheist, don't you?

@MetalBru01 It doesn't really take the piss out of it. The bible takes the piss out of itself. All he had to do was illustrate the WHOLE bible, even the bits people don't talk about much (i.e. most of it).

I especially like the lego Lot being raped by his own daughters.

People are so stupid. How do Christians not see?

@Freedaaa Those invisible pink unicorns are pests aren't they. Now don't deny they exist! Because if you deny that invisible pink unicorns (or Zeus, or pixies, or whatever) exist then they therefore MUST exist (according to your faulty logic).

[MetalBru01]

You do realize that the guy who made it was trolling right? Did they even read what was in that book? It takes the piss out of christianity and judaism all throughout the book!

[locovel10]

a distortion? out of context? a parody?

absolutely not.... Luke 18:17

the brick testament - ha ha yes!!

get back in touch with your god and inner child

[donisgod1]

@BreathOFLaminin That would be the point wouldn't it? they do have that right. EXCEPT, you seem to be oblivious to the fact that they were bullied into it. Free market my ass, as long as the religiots approve.

[donisgod1]

I am so glad I am not a christian. To be in the same club as so many complete retards would make me ashamed to admit I was one.

[BreathOFLaminin]

@123barriejohn They pulled it because the brick "bible" is marketed toward children, yet displays nudity, and takes Scripture immensely out-of-context.

And, why do you care anyhow?! It's called a FREE MARKET. Sam's Club has the right to sell or pull from the shelf any product they want, it is THEIR BUSINESS.

[123barriejohn]

I can't believe the actions of Sam's club. What a bunch of idiots. They have quite clearly never read either The Bible or The Brick Bible. As WhichDoctor so rightly says, irony and religion just don't mix!

[kingdomheart4ever]

@BreathOFLaminin yes i already knew the brick bible was distorted. im just saying he took all that time to read it and then buy legos to make a brick bible.
