The Brick Bible: A New Spin on the Old Testament

By Brendan Powell Smith

This graphic novel’s “whimsical art work” reflects “a mission to illustrate all the books of the Bible using LEGO® bricks” (The Washington Post).

Brendan Powell Smith has spent a decade creating nearly 5,000 scenes from the bible—with Legos. The Holy Bible is complex; sometimes dark, and other times joyous, and Smith’s 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. Smith's subtle touch brings out the nuances of each scene and makes you reconsider the way you look at Legos—it’s something that needs to be seen to be believed.

“A curiously powerful graphic novel.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Even if you aren’t overly religious, it’s hard not to appreciate the craftsmanship and art that is inside these pages.” —Wired

“The greatest toy story ever told.” —Rolling Stone
