The New Testament as you've never seen it illustrated before--now in a compact format! From the author of the highly praised and somewhat controversial The Compact Brick Bible: A New Spin on the Old Testament comes the much-anticipated New Testament edition, complete with one thousand photographs of LEGO(R) sets designed by artist Brendan Powell Smith, depicting the story of Jesus. From the life of Jesus--his birth, miracles, and parables--to the famous last supper scene and the crucifixion; from the fate of Judas to the life of Paul and his letters to the Ephesians; from the first book burning to the book of Revelations, this is the New Testament as you've never experienced it before. Combining the actual text of the New Testament with brick photographs, Smith brings to life the teachings and prophecies of the most popular book in the world with the graphic novel format in fun and surprising ways. Everyone, from the devout to nonbelievers, will find something breathtaking, fascinating, or entertaining. Smith's subtle touch brings out the nuances of each scene and makes you reconsider the way you look at the Bible or LEGOS(R)--it's something that needs to be seen to be believed.
