Do You Want To See The Bible In Legos?

What do The Door Magazine and LEGO® blocks have in common? Well, the publisher of The Door is Ole Anthony, and the founder of LEGO Company was (no kidding) Ole Kirk Christiansen, who in 1932 began making wooden toys in Billund, Denmark. But no one associates LEGO with wood. They associate it with a particular type of interlocking plastic block introduced in 1949. More than 203 billion blocks (but who’s counting?) and accessories have been produced since that time. There are general sets of blocks, as well as blocks and accessories that have been tailor-made to build specific projects, such as people, vehicles and buildings.

Brendan Smith grew up playing with those blocks, as did many children of the latter half of the 20th century. But Brendan has done something with LEGO blocks that, well, must be seen to be appreciated. The Brick Testament (www.thebricktestament.com) is an attempt to depict Bible passages in the medium of LEGO blocks. That sounds innocent enough, but some of the content is not quite like your Sunday school curriculum.

For example, a passage from I Corinthians about married couples offering themselves unreservedly to each other is illustrated with adorable little LEGO figures, how do we put this, offering themselves unreservedly to each other. Other times, it’s the source material itself that’s uncomfortable — passages urging slaves to be loyal to their masters, for example.
