Rock Bible is the third studio album by American heavy metal band the Mentors. The lyrical content changed from sexism to the band's personal turmoil, although there were some sexist songs and one, "My Daughter Is a Strawberry", had racist lyrics (tongue in cheek, as Insect on Acid, who is African-American, was a member of the band during this time period):

Gonna get my shotgun out tonight
And show her the power of the White
A bullet in the gun
And down to Compton to have some fun

— Eldon Hoke, "My Daughter is a Strawberry", 1989

It was only available on cassette on its original release. Rick Lomas (Insect on Acid) plays drums on most tracks, due to El Duce's increasing struggles with alcoholism. Bootleggers sold bad-quality MP3 rips of the tape bundled with the Get Up and Die EP as CDs before an official CD version was released in 2007, remastered from the original cassette. The album was released on LP for the first time in 2023, with a bonus disc containing unreleased material from the original sessions.

Lyrics from "Cardboard Condo" were reused in the track "Living on Welfare" from El Duce's 1993 solo album Slave to Thy Master.
