<p>The Bible does come up at least once in the manga. There is a two-page segment in volume 1, chapter 4 (p. 35-36), titled "The Bible said" (「聖書曰く」). It's kinda loony, like everything else in <em>Miss Bernard said</em>.</p>

<p>There may be other references to the Bible (I haven't read much past this chapter). If I do run into any more, I'll try to remember to update this answer. </p>

<p>Prior to watching the anime adaptation, I read descriptions of <em>Miss Bernard said</em> (<em>Bernard-jou Iwaku</em>) in <a href="https://myanimelist.net/anime/33462/Bernard-jou_Iwaku" rel="nofollow noreferrer">MyAnimeList</a> and <a href="https://static.neregate.com/2016/09/neregate.com-Fall-2016-Anime-Chart-v3.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">the Fall 2016 chart linked to in the Anime.SE chat</a>.

Prior to watching the anime adaptation, I read descriptions of *Miss Bernard said* (*Bernard-jou Iwaku*) in [MyAnimeList](https://myanimelist.net/anime/33462/Bernard-jou_Iwaku) and [the Fall 2016 chart linked to in the Anime.SE chat](https://static.neregate.com/2016/09/neregate.com-Fall-2016-Anime-Chart-v3.png). Both mention that the Bible comes up in at least one conversation in the series. Despite this, I do not recall ever seeing a discussion of or an allusion to Bible in the anime shorts, which I found a bit disappointing — I would have liked to see how they approached the subject.

In this case, seeing that Bible was mentioned in the show description in the first place, it seems likely that it at least appears once in the manga. Am I correct, and if so, where does it appear? (Alternatively, did I overlook some details in the anime?)
