The Brick Bible (originally published as The Brick Testament) is a project created by Elbe Spurling[1] in which Bible stories are illustrated using still photographs of dioramas constructed entirely out of Lego bricks.

The project began as a website in October 2001 that featured six stories from the Book of Genesis, and is completely unaffiliated with the Lego company.[2] There is also a Brick Bible book series.[3]

Throughout stories are retold using passages from the Bible, with chapter and verse cited, the wording being a free adaptation that Spurling says is based on a number of public domain Bible translations.[4] Occasionally, mostly when images are being used to contrast with the underlying scripture, Spurling dramatizes the images with additional text. Such text is displayed in gray instead of the usual black.
