The Brick Bible: The Complete Set (Brick Bible Presents)

Product Information

As someone who has never actually read the bible (besides maybe a passage here and there) I found it quite educational but I'm definitely the right audience for this book.

Smith does a great job highlighting the violence and serious factual problems in the Old Testament along with awesome LEGO displays!David sends Him down the road to Obed-Edam, who is blessed by God while God stays there, and OE was a Gittite! In this, Powell Smith is successful--he takes something that people dismiss (either as fiction or because it is so familiar), and he uses the disconnect between those expectations and the LEGO imagery to force the reader to grapple with what the Bible and its stories mean for them.

It is designed to capture the interest of non-Mormons curious to know what the LDS Church teaches, as well as believing Mormons looking for a fun new way to learn and share the history and teachings of their church. At least he didn't kill his whole family, his flocks, friends, and distant relatives also, which would've totally been in character for Yahweh at this point in time). Smith portrays Jesus's birth, miracles, last supper, and death and resurrection with meticulous attention to detail.

The Old Testament is a complex text, but Smith's "brick" illustrations help bring out the nuances of each scene and will make you reconsider the way you look at the Bible-and LEGO.
