JERUSALEM, Aug. 9 (World Daily Times) — Author, podcaster and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza is promoting a new book that argues archaeological discoveries support the historical credibility of the Bible. The claim is D’Souza’s interpretation; the available publisher material does not include independent assessments from archaeologists, historians or biblical scholars.
The book, The Stones Cry Out: Biblical Archaeology, Prophecy, and the Last Days, is scheduled for release Oct. 13, 2026, by Charisma House. A Charisma House announcement distributed through PRNewswire describes the book as the result of three years of research and visits to excavation sites in Israel and elsewhere in the biblical world.
D’Souza’s project is a personal argument, not a statement from a denomination, congregation or broader religious institution. The supplied material does not identify a formal denominational affiliation for D’Souza or any institutional religious position on his conclusions.
What D’Souza is arguing
D’Souza says archaeology has uncovered evidence connected 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 discoveries are a “decisive refutation” of claims made by Bible skeptics.
In promotional statements for the book, D’Souza said he began the research after a 2022 trip to Israel. He described the work as strengthening his confidence that biblical accounts are grounded in history. Another statement attributed to him says scientific analysis has increased his confidence that the Bible should be taken seriously as a historical record.
These statements describe D’Souza’s conclusions. The publisher’s announcement does not provide a list of the artifacts he relies on, excavation reports, dates, named researchers or peer-reviewed studies that would allow those conclusions to be independently evaluated.
What 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
- The crucifixion, burial and resurrection of Jesus
The announcement presents these topics as part of a larger debate over biblical historicity. “Historicity” means whether a person, place or event described in a text can be connected to real history. Archaeology can provide evidence about ancient buildings, objects, settlements and practices. That evidence may inform historical questions, but the supplied material does not show that independent experts have agreed with D’Souza’s broader conclusions about the Bible.
Why the evidence matters
The Bible is a collection of religious texts written and compiled over long periods. It includes history, law, poetry, prophecy, wisdom literature and accounts of Jesus’ life. Archaeological evidence may support the existence of some places, rulers or cultural practices mentioned in biblical texts. It does not automatically settle every question about a text, including questions of interpretation, theology or miracles.
The available announcement refers to “ongoing scholarly debates,” but it does not identify the scholars or competing interpretations. It also does not clarify whether D’Souza argues that archaeology confirms the Bible as a whole or supports only selected people, places and events.
That distinction is important because evidence for one historical detail does not, by itself, establish every claim in a religious text. D’Souza’s book appears designed to make a comprehensive case, but the materials available before publication provide only a summary of that case.
What is known about the release
Charisma House announced the book’s Oct. 13, 2026, release in a statement distributed through PRNewswire. The publisher describes D’Souza as an author, podcaster and filmmaker and promotes the book as an examination of how modern archaeology is affecting arguments about biblical history.
The supplied sources do not identify a government agency, court, academic institution or named archaeological organization involved in the project. They also do not provide the full manuscript or independent reviews of its research.
For now, the central point is clear: D’Souza says his archaeological research has reinforced his belief in the Bible’s historical reliability. Whether the specific evidence he presents persuades scholars or changes wider debates will depend on the book’s documented sources and the response from qualified researchers after its release.
