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 — a position he says challenges skeptics 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 aimed at a broad Christian audience, but the claims described so far are D’Souza’s interpretation. The supplied publisher materials do not include independent evaluations from archaeologists, historians or biblical scholars.
What does D’Souza claim?
D’Souza says he spent three years researching biblical archaeology and visiting excavation sites in Israel and other parts of the biblical world. The project reportedly began with a 2022 trip to Israel.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, D’Souza said archaeology “stunningly supports the historicity of the Bible.” He also said artifacts uncovered through archaeological work are a “decisive refutation” of claims made by Bible skeptics.
In the publisher’s announcement, D’Souza said his research led him to conclude that the people, places and events described in the Bible “are grounded in history.” He also said scientific analysis had increased his confidence that the Bible should be treated seriously as a historical record.
Those statements express D’Souza’s conclusion. They do not establish that archaeologists broadly agree with him, and the announcement does not identify the specific discoveries on which each conclusion rests.
Which biblical subjects does the book discuss?
According to Charisma House, 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;
- the ancient city of Jericho;
- Palestinians and Philistines; and
- the crucifixion, burial and resurrection of Jesus.
The list covers different periods and types of claims. Some concern whether particular people or places existed. Others involve interpretations of events described in religious texts. Archaeological evidence can provide information about ancient settlements, objects and historical settings, but the supplied materials do not explain how D’Souza connects each discovery to a specific biblical account.
What is archaeology able to show?
Archaeology studies material evidence from the past, such as buildings, inscriptions, tools, graves and layers of settlement. Researchers use that evidence, along with written records and scientific dating methods, to reconstruct aspects of ancient life.
Finding evidence that a person, place or practice existed can support part of a historical account. It does not automatically confirm every detail in a text or resolve questions about religious meaning. Those questions can involve interpretation, theology and the reliability of written sources as well as physical evidence.
D’Souza’s book presents archaeology as support for the Bible’s overall historical credibility. The publisher announcement, however, does not provide a list of artifacts, excavation reports, dates, named researchers or peer-reviewed studies for readers to assess.
Is this an official position of a church?
The supplied materials identify no denomination, congregation or formal Christian body as endorsing D’Souza’s conclusions. They also do not identify a denominational affiliation for D’Souza.
The claims are therefore best understood as the position of an individual author and the promotional description of his forthcoming book, rather than as an official statement from Christianity as a whole or from a particular church institution.
For now, the central question raised by the book is not whether D’Souza believes archaeology supports the Bible — he clearly says it does. It is which discoveries and scholarly arguments he will present, and how other experts assess them when the book is released.
