JERUSALEM, Aug. 9 (World Daily Times) — Author, podcaster and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza is promoting a new book that argues archaeological discoveries support the Bible’s historical credibility. The book, The Stones Cry Out: Biblical Archaeology, Prophecy, and the Last Days, is scheduled for release Oct. 13, 2026, from Charisma House.
The argument is D’Souza’s interpretation of archaeological evidence. The publisher’s announcement and D’Souza’s interview statements do not amount to an independent finding by an archaeological association, university or peer-reviewed research group. The supplied materials do not identify the specific artifacts, excavation reports or academic studies that form the book’s case.
What does D’Souza argue?
D’Souza says archaeology has uncovered evidence linked to people, places and events described in the Bible. In an interview with Fox News Digital, he said archaeology “stunningly supports the historicity of the Bible.”
He also said, “The problem for them is that archaeology is digging out of the ground artifacts that are a decisive refutation of the things that they say.” In the publisher’s announcement, he said the research led him to conclude that the Bible’s people, places and events “are grounded in history.”
Those statements describe D’Souza’s position. They do not establish that archaeology confirms every account in the Bible or settle all debates about the Bible’s historical reliability. The available material does not say whether the book evaluates the Bible as a whole or focuses on selected accounts.
What subjects does the book cover?
According to Charisma House, the book examines archaeological discoveries and scholarly debates involving several major biblical topics. They include:
- The First Temple in Jerusalem and the reign of King Solomon
- Sodom and Gomorrah
- The Exodus, ancient Egypt and Israel
- Jericho
- Palestinians and Philistines
- The crucifixion, burial and resurrection of Jesus
The announcement describes these as subjects of archaeological and historical debate. It does not name the scholars or institutions representing competing views.
Some of the topics involve different kinds of historical questions. Archaeology can examine buildings, objects, inscriptions and physical remains. Claims about religious meaning, prophecy or miracles involve questions that go beyond what an excavation alone can demonstrate. D’Souza presents the evidence as supporting the Bible’s credibility, but the supplied sources do not provide independent assessments of that conclusion.
How did the project develop?
The publisher says D’Souza’s project began with a trip to Israel in 2022. He then spent three years researching biblical archaeology and visiting excavation sites in Israel and elsewhere in what the announcement calls the biblical world.
D’Souza said he came away from the work with greater confidence in the Bible as a historical record. He also said, “What I previously accepted on faith is now supported and corroborated by scientific fact.”
The research described in the promotional material includes Israel, the Middle East and locations associated with ancient Egypt and other biblical accounts. The materials do not provide a complete list of the sites he visited.
Is this a denominational position?
The available information identifies D’Souza as the individual making the claims. It does not establish his denomination or formal religious affiliation, and no denomination, congregation or academic institution is presented as endorsing the book’s conclusions.
That distinction matters because D’Souza’s argument should not be treated as a universal position of all Christians, Jews or other faith communities. The publisher’s announcement promotes the book, while the archaeological claims remain attributed to D’Souza unless and until independent researchers assess the evidence.
Charisma House announced the book’s publication in July 2026. Until the book is released and its sources can be examined, the materials available describe its conclusions but do not independently verify them.
