Are You Smarter than a Third Grade Bible Student?

Maybe it will be like Bible study, only with a little more production value and a lot more Jeff Foxworthy. The Game Show Network is officially launching a Bible-themed show called "American Bible Challenge," and yes, Foxworthy has signed on to host.

GSN says the show will "acknowledge and celebrate the Bible's continuing importance in contemporary life and culture."

GSN programming chief Amy Introcaso-Davis told HLN that the contestants will get on the show by way of their personal journeys of faith, stories that will apparently be shared with the audience. Contestants will be representing "worthy faith-based organizations," although Introcaso-Davis also says any charity could be represented. "(The contestants) will be playing ... for groups or charity organizations. It can be any charity, but anyone who knows the Bible can come out and audition for the show."

Auditions to be the next game-show Bible expert have already started across the country, and Introcaso-Davis says she's surprised at the groups that are coming to try out. "I think what's astonishing to us is how young people are who are really responding to this idea and coming out in droves," she says. "And they really know their Bible."

Foxworthy, a self-proclaimed redneck and current host of "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader," says he's excited to see people put their Bible knowledge to the test. "It will be really interesting to find out what people really know, and an opportunity to present the Bible in a fun and entertaining way," he says.

Introcaso-Davis says the show is slated to premiere this summer, and along with Foxworthy and charity-minded contestants, she promises other entertaining tidbits, like a live choir.
