Sola Gratia (Latin for "grace alone"[3]) is the eleventh studio album by American progressive rock vocalist, keyboardist and guitarist Neal Morse, released on September 11, 2020.[5] It marks his return to Inside Out Music.[5]

Recorded in April 2020, it is a concept album about Paul the Apostle, focusing on the period from his persecution of early Christians[5] to his conversion.[1][6]

The album was released as a limited CD/DVD Digipak (with Making-of video footage), a Gatefold double LP and CD, a standard CD jewel case and on digital platforms.[5] It was debuted live during his annual MorseFest event in September 2020.[5]

Three singles were released from the album, each of them with an accompanying video: "In the Name of the Lord",[7] "Seemingly Sincere" (dealing with the stoning of Saint Stephen; video directed by Christian Rios of Ray of Light Films)[8] and "Building a Wall".[9]
