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 claim comes from D’Souza and the publisher. The announcement does not include independent assessments from archaeologists, historians or biblical scholars, and it does not identify the specific artifacts, excavation reports or academic studies that form the book’s evidence.
What is D’Souza arguing?
D’Souza says archaeology “stunningly supports the historicity of the Bible.” In an interview with Fox News Digital, he said discoveries connected to biblical people, places and events challenge skeptics who doubt the Bible’s historical accounts.
“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,” D’Souza said, according to Fox News Digital.
In promotional material for the book, D’Souza said his research left him convinced that the people, places and events described in the Bible are “grounded in history.” He also said scientific analysis had strengthened his confidence that the Bible should be taken seriously as a historical record.
Those are D’Souza’s interpretations. The available materials do not establish that archaeologists or academic institutions broadly agree with them.
What subjects does the book cover?
Charisma House says the book examines archaeological discoveries and scholarly debates involving several major biblical topics, including:
- 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 publisher describes the project as based on three years of research and visits to excavation sites in Israel and elsewhere in the biblical world. The project reportedly began with a trip to Israel in 2022.
The announcement refers to continuing scholarly debates but does not name the scholars, institutions or competing interpretations involved.
What can archaeology show?
Archaeology studies physical evidence from past societies, such as buildings, inscriptions, tools, pottery and burial sites. Such evidence can help establish that particular people, places or practices existed and can provide information about the historical setting of ancient texts.
That is different from demonstrating every claim in a religious text. A discovery associated with a biblical location or historical figure may support part of the text’s setting without resolving every question about its narrative, meaning or theological claims.
The supplied information does not say whether D’Souza’s book argues for the historical reliability of the Bible as a whole or focuses on selected people, places and events. It also does not provide a manuscript, a list of artifacts or citations to peer-reviewed archaeological research.
Is this a position of a church or denomination?
No denominational or congregational position is identified in the available announcement. The claims are presented as D’Souza’s individual argument and as part of Charisma House’s promotion of his book.
The materials also do not establish D’Souza’s formal religious affiliation. As a result, the book should not be described as representing the official view of Christianity, a particular denomination or the wider archaeological field.
For now, the central point is a forthcoming author’s interpretation of archaeological evidence. Whether individual discoveries support the conclusions in The Stones Cry Out will depend on the specific evidence and scholarly arguments presented in the book and evaluated by experts.
