Season three of THE AMERICAN BIBLE CHALLENGE premieres with two back-to-back original episodes tonight at 8 PM (ET/PT), and will air new episodes every Thursday at 8 PM (ET/PT) on GSN. Jeff Foxworthy hosts this one-hour game show in which contestants compete based on their knowledge of the Bible.  Foxworthy is reunited with GRAMMY® winner and multi-platinum-selling musician and producer Kirk Franklin as musical co-host. (Check out our recent interview with Kirk about his role on the show)

Season three of THE AMERICAN BIBLE CHALLENGE will bring a new set of diverse, fun and colorful contestants which include a team of former beauty queens, motorcycle riding priests, police officers and Mormon moms.

THE AMERICAN BIBLE CHALLENGE has added brand new games that put the contestant’s spiritual and physical talents to the test with new categories that include “Christ or Klingon” in which contestants have to guess whether words are from the Bible or Star Trek’s Klingon language; “Curse You Autocorrect” where contestants must decipher a typed Bible passage that has been “autocorrected” and “Nazareth Enquirer” with sensational Biblical headlines that could have appeared in a tabloid.

Aside from showcasing their knowledge of the world’s best-selling book, each team will compete on behalf of a charitable organization. The tournament starts with 18 three-person teams—three teams in each of the first six episodes of the season. The winning teams from each of those six episodes advance to play in two semi-final games. During the final round, one team will be named champions of THE AMERICAN BIBLE CHALLENGE.
