JERUSALEM, Aug. 9 (World Daily Times) — Author and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza is promoting a forthcoming book that argues archaeological discoveries support the historical credibility of the Bible.
The Stones Cry Out: Biblical Archaeology, Prophecy, and the Last Days is scheduled for release Oct. 13, 2026, from Charisma House, according to a publisher announcement distributed through PRNewswire. The book is based on what D’Souza describes as three years of research and visits to excavation sites in Israel and other parts of the biblical world.
D’Souza has described the project as a challenge to people who doubt the Bible’s historical claims. In an interview with Fox News Digital, he said archaeology “stunningly supports the historicity of the Bible.” That is D’Souza’s conclusion about the evidence, not an independently established finding documented in the supplied material.
What is D’Souza arguing?
D’Souza says artifacts and excavation findings connected to biblical people, places and events weaken arguments that the Bible is historically unreliable. He told Fox News Digital that archaeology is uncovering artifacts that he considers “a decisive refutation” of claims made by Bible skeptics.
The publisher’s announcement says D’Souza came away from his research believing that the people, places and events described in the Bible are grounded in history. It also quotes him saying that scientific analysis has increased his confidence that the Bible should be taken seriously as a historical record.
Those statements combine two different questions: whether particular people, places or events existed, and whether the Bible’s accounts are accurate in their entirety. The supplied information does not establish that D’Souza’s book addresses the historical reliability of the Bible as a whole rather than selected parts of it.
Which subjects does the book cover?
According to Charisma House, the book examines archaeological discoveries and scholarly debates involving:
- the First Temple in Jerusalem and the reign of King Solomon;
- Sodom and Gomorrah;
- the Exodus, ancient Egypt and Israel;
- Jericho;
- Palestinians and Philistines; and
- the crucifixion, burial and resurrection of Jesus.
The announcement describes these as areas of debate and research. But the supplied materials do not identify the specific artifacts, excavation reports, dates, archaeologists or academic publications that support D’Souza’s conclusions.
How did the project begin?
The publisher’s account says D’Souza’s research began with a 2022 trip to Israel. He then spent three years researching biblical archaeology and visiting excavation sites across what the announcement calls the biblical world.
The research described in the promotional material focuses mainly on Israel, the Middle East, ancient Egypt and other locations associated with biblical accounts. The material does not identify one specific excavation or discovery as the central evidence for the book’s argument.
What is independently confirmed?
The book’s title, publisher and planned release date are identified in the Charisma House announcement. The announcement also confirms the broad subjects D’Souza plans to discuss and his description of the research process.
What is not independently confirmed in the supplied material is the larger claim that archaeology proves the Bible’s historical accounts. No named archaeologist, historian, biblical scholar, academic institution or peer-reviewed study is cited as an independent assessment of D’Souza’s conclusions.
That distinction matters because archaeological evidence can document sites, objects, people and historical settings, while the meaning of that evidence may remain disputed. The publisher’s announcement refers to continuing scholarly debates, but it does not name the scholars or explain the competing interpretations.
D’Souza’s book therefore presents a particular interpretation of archaeological evidence. It may appeal especially to readers who see archaeology as support for Christian belief, but the supplied information does not show that his position represents an official view of a denomination, congregation or broader religious institution. D’Souza’s own religious denomination or formal affiliation is not identified.
What happens next?
The Stones Cry Out is scheduled to be published by Charisma House on Oct. 13, 2026. Until the book is available and its sources can be examined, the details of the evidence behind D’Souza’s claims — and how other specialists assess it — remain unclear.
