Kurzbeschreibung
With The Brick Testament: Stories from the Book of Genesis, Brendan Smith reimagined ten classic Bible stories using nothing but LEGO bricks -- and the results were praised by everyone from People and Entertainment Weekly to the Archdiocese of Cincinnati (they've recommended the book to their entire congregation!). Publishers Weekly called it 'hilarious' and wrote, 'One rejoices that the franchise possibilities could extend for many years.'
We couldn't agree more. Just in time for the holidays, Quirk Books is proud to present the best-known Bible story of all time: The Story of Christmas. Using verses from the New Testament and a series of elaborate LEGO dioramas, Smith illustrates the birth of Jesus Christ -- from his arrival in the manger to the wrath of King Herod and the famous visit from the three wise men. It's the perfect stocking stuffer for anyone who celebrates Christmas!

Manche frommen Spaßbremsen mögen dieses Werk anstößig finden, mir hat es ganz gut gefallen. Im Wortlaut, ohne Kommentare oder ähnliches, werden die Schöpfungsgeschichte und einige weitere Episoden es AT illustriert wiedergegeben, wobei die entsprechenden Szenen mit Legosteinen und -Figuren nachgestellt werden. Das sieht z. T. einfach prima aus und ist ansonsten völlig harmlos. Außer für humorlose Zeitgenossen - aber was soll man auf die hören? Ein Stern weniger, weil sich das Konzept natürlich schnell abnutzt und das Buch rasch durchgeblättert ist.

Auf den ersten Blick ist The Brick Testament eine liebevoll gestalltete Modellierung jüdischer und christlicher (biblischer) Geschichten und Überlieferungen. Beim genaueren hinsehen entpuppt es sich jedoch als das genaue Gegenteil. Es ist weder für Kinder, noch für am Glauben oder der Geschichte interessierte in irgendeiner Weise zu empfehlen. Schade um die wirklich gute Idee.

Finally, the TRUE story of CHRISTMAS
29. November 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I have both of these books of lego illustrations and love them both.
These books are NOT satire! They are true, illustrated stories from the Bible. There's a difference between mocking something and being humorous, and I think the Brick Testament on the whole is very respectful of the Bible. I have no problem with illustrating the Holy Ghost in lego.
They're very faithful renditions of the words of the bible.
Yes, there is some blood - but how can you tell the TRUE story of christmas without Herod and the murdering of the firstborns? This isn't about Santa Claus and some commercialzed hijacking of the holiday. This is the true story of christmas, don't buy it if you're looking for rudolf and frosty.

Funny AND Educational Stocking Stuffer!
11. Dezember 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I just got my copy of "The Brick Testament: The Story of Christmas," and really got a kick out of it. Smith is very creative, and I'm still amazed at how he was able to render objects in Lego (frankincense! stockings! a manger! a Christmas tree!). It's a great Christmas gift (it'll fit in a stocking, too!), and good for teaching kids about the real story of Christmas. Bundle this book with a Lego set and you have an awesome gift where they can be inspired to create their own stories in Lego. A budding Brendan Powell Smith, if you will.
Regarding the appropriateness of this book for a younger audience, I went to a Catholic primary school (1st-6th grades), and I can tell you that there is *nothing* in "The Story of Christmas" that wasn't taught to us there. I like the idea of the Holy Ghost being rendered as a smiling ghost, because what better literal representation is there for a child to understand?

It's making a convert out of me!
30. November 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I'll be honest-- I'm Jewish. So I'm more familiar with herring than Herod, and when someone says "Christmas tree" my first thought is, "Oh yeah, the bushy menorah." But even I have to admire the intersection of beauty and brilliance that is this book.
I've seen the New Testament before and comparing it to the Old Testament, well, you know what they say about sequels... But The Brick Testament is the first treatment of the subject that I can really appreciate. It's like those old Reese's Peanut Butter Cups commercials: "Hey, you got colorful interlocking blocks in my bible stories!" "Hey, you got bible stories in my colorful interlocking blocks!" In unison: "This is delicious!!!"
Well I don't recommend that you eat The Reverend's latest masterpiece but I do recommend that you thoroughly digest it. Does that seem like a paradox? Can you digest without eating? Well, it turns out you can and it's kind of like the miracle of communion wafers. Read this book and you'll understand what I mean.
