It was directed by Samuel Bayer, director of all the videos from American Idiot. Bullet in a Bible documents the two biggest shows that Green Day have headlined in their career, playing to over 130,000 people at the Milton Keynes National Bowl in the United Kingdom on June 18 and 19, 2005 during their American Idiot world tour. Fourteen of the twenty songs performed at these shows are included on the disc.

The album peaked at number 6 in the United Kingdom and debuted at number 8 in the United States.
