The LEGO Testament

If choosing between Sunday School and LEGO blocks was difficult for you as a child, The Brick Testament may just be the Web site for you. The premise is simple. Take passages of the Old and New Testaments of the Holy Bible and act them out in series of dioramas of LEGO blocks.

Be warned: this is not a wholly reverent interpretation. The author, The Reverend Brendan Powell Smith, is actually an artist, author, and atheist, although he does hold a degree in Philosophy & Religion from Boston University. Some of the humor in the site is meant to be slightly controversial, no doubt.

Mostly, it is all just good clean LEGO fun… well except for the sex, the violence, and the nudity (all according to the text of the Bible). Some of the material is probably not what was usually covered in Sunday School. As LEGO art, however, it is simply amazing.
