After the success of VeggieTales, it was questionable among fans and families whether another Religious Edutainment could possibly be created to rival it in terms of both humor and religious substance for children. In 2011, a possible contender, What's in the Bible? (full title Buck Denver Asks...What's in the Bible?) — which happened to also be created by Phil Vischer — arrived.Instead of anthropomorphic vegetables, this show is hosted by a cast of puppets all voiced by Phil (who also serves as a live-action co-host, the other being Buck Denver, Man of News!) while animation depicts various Bible stories, personalities, and concepts. It has a fast pace, usually going quickly over the Bible stories that Christian children would probably already know, but thoroughly — digging into the moral, spiritual, and ethical substance of them, something most children's programs don't even touch. Despite this bold move, the show is still very child-friendly and easy to understand, yet educational to even older members of the audience.What's in the Bible? was definitely groundbreaking, both as a Spiritual Successor to VeggieTales and as its own series. Like the former, it teaches children about the Bible in a fun and humorous way, but unlike its precursor manages to do what no other kids' show has ever done: Teach kids about the entire Protestant Christian Bible and "God's rescue plan", from Genesis to Revelation, help them understand concepts that other educational shows never touched, and answer questions that kids would probably be asking themselves when learning about the Bible (e.g., "Why are some laws of Leviticus still followed today but not others?"). The show was an instant hit, scoring high with parents and Christian children programs, and quickly developed something of a Periphery Demographic.The show was released over 13 DVDs, each containing two 25-minute episodes for a total of 26. Two Clip Show videos and a Christmas Episode were also produced. | |

A Form You Are Comfortable With | |
| What's in the Bible? / int_106f1a77 | comment |
A Form You Are Comfortable With: After a fashion — since God's true form is unknowable to humans, in the animated segments He is always depicted as a big, fluffy, white, luminous cloud labeled "God". Beyond the precedent of God sometimes appearing as a great cloud in the Bible, Sunday School Lady points out that depicting Him as that makes as much sense (if not more) than going with an old bearded guy. | |

Little "No" | |
| What's in the Bible? / int_2d92c43c | comment |
Little "No": In "Finally, the Promised Land", which covers the Book of Joshua, Ian asks why God was okay with the Israelites slaying their enemies and taking their land when such behavior conflicts with the Ten Commandments, which prohibit stealing and killing. Cue the "Tricky Bits with Buck Denver" title card and a cut to Buck, who simply says "Um...no." Cue the "Tricky Bits with Phil" title card, and he delivers an explanationnote As God promised the Israelites the land, their enemies were disobeying God by not giving it up and thus He sent a terrible punishment. This leads into a "God's rescue plan" discussion, explaining that it's about God choosing to spare people from just giving them what they deserve for being sinful — since no one is able to live up to His standards due to Original Sin, yet He still loves them and wants them to be with Him in the end, He offers them salvation through Christ. | |

Snakes Are Sinister | |
| What's in the Bible? / int_476d2edb | comment |
Snakes Are Sinister: Besides the serpent of the Garden of Eden, Satan is depicted as a green snake in the animated segments. In Episode 15, which discusses the Book of Job and is the first episode Satan appears in, there is a discussion about Satan's role between the two testaments — in the Old Testament, Satan isn't mentioned until Job, and his name happens to be the Hebrew word for "accuser" (to God in this case). It isn't until the New Testament that he's God's Arch-Enemy and the true identity of the serpent in the Garden of Eden, and Bible experts disagree as to whether all mentions of Satan and the serpent in the book refer to one being. Sunday School Lady then explains that they're going to depict him as a snake anyway — "we don't have any better ideas." | |

God Is Good | |
| What's in the Bible? / int_77480c5e | comment |
God Is Good: The central point of the Bible as established in this series. All humans, due to Adam and Eve's choice to disobey God and allow sin into the world, have been cut off from living with God and must not only suffer the consequences of sin (famine, war, disease, etc.) but can never live the completely blameless lives needed to prove themselves worthy of Him. The good news is that He loves His creations so much He wants them to be with Him anyway. So He put a "rescue plan" into play, offering everyone salvation through Christ. | |

Rule of Three | |
| What's in the Bible? / int_a6cda066 | comment |
Rule of Three: At the top of Episode 15, Phil reads the opening lines of Joyce Kilmer's "Trees" to introduce the discussion of the Writings of the Bible. Clive goes on to quote Wordsworth ("I wandered lonely as a cloud...")...and Ian follows that up with the opening of Dr. Seuss's One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. Doubles as a Shout-Out three times over. | |

Demoted to Extra | |
| What's in the Bible? / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: By way of covering the entire Bible, some famous personalities one would expect to see covered at length in a Religious Edutainment show are mentioned only in passing, if at all. Lot and his family aren't brought up at all. The most obvious example of the trope is Samson, who is only brought up as the last of the twelve judges of Israel and gets about equal time with Deborah, the one female in that group. Cain and Abel's story is quickly breezed by as part of a larger discussion of original sin between the Adam and Eve and Noah stories in Episode Two, as is Jonah's later on, with the characters pointing out that pretty much everyone knows that story already (which could be an in-joke, given that the first VeggieTales movie retold it). Bear in mind this show gives two full episodes over to the Letters of Paul! | |

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome | |
| What's in the Bible? / int_c33ba0a8 | comment |
Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: The Real Life musical duo the Bentley Brothers, the only other live-action performers in the show, disappear with no acknowledgement after Volume Seven. The FAQ at the show's website explains that they could not appear in later volumes due to other commitments. Discussed and averted by Captain Pete after his usual Church History segment was absent from Volume 3. Paranoid that he'd become one of those characters that "just disappears," he takes on a larger role as the leader of numerous songs from Volume 4 onward. (The segment itself actually disappeared mostly aside from bonus features, so this turned out for the better for him) | |
