Rev. Smith is the sole creator of the Brick Testament, the largest and most comprehensive illustrated Bible in the world with over 3,600 LEGO illustrations that retell more than 300 stories from The Bible.
First launched as a website, it then became a published book series with the aim of giving people an increased knowledge of the contents of The Bible in a fun and compelling way. It's now also on Facebook and Flickr.
Everything but the background sky is built out of LEGO brand building blocks. There are a few select instances where LEGO pieces have been modified with a hobby knife or permanent ink marker, but the vast majority of The Brick Testament are unaltered LEGO parts from sets that date from the 1960s up to the present day.
