"Neal Morse is the best thing that has happened in music since the Lennon and Macartney break up. If you read this review Neal,I just want to thank you for the music you have given us, and for the music that is yet to come!"
Another great album by Morse....

"the story:
I believe that Morse made this album because of the impact of what the story is about....i dont think he believes martin luther was right, but maybe because all religions are the way they are now because of luther...so why not tell about it....
the music:
i had a slight headache after i listen to the entire album in my car one day, this whole album is the intro to "author of confusion" time 50....all the way through....very heavy, very loud, great harmonies, great solos, tons of emotions...wish neal had broken it up into 12 or 13 small songs, rather than 3 monster 20 and 30 minutes songs, mostly because fast forwarding 27 minutes into a song to hear the ending is a little redundant after a while...
cant wait to hear the next album...."
Prog done the right way

"I love everything about sola scriptura.I've found it to be very moving in some places,almost to the point of tears.This cd takes me on a spiritual and historical journey.It encourages me to stand up for God's word which very often, is difficult to do in todays world.Anyway, I think Neal has written some of his best songs on sola scriptura.it's a phenominal cd. highly recommended."
Amazed..

"Man.. this guy amazes me every time. But this time is more than what was going on with SB. This is great music too but now he hits the mark with the lyrics. This combination will blow you away. Never boring, even the short repetitions that come with the prog environment, everything is well done and well balanced. I am blessed to have his music and i am so thankful that he is not one of those musicians that speak half-truth when they are composing christian lyrics.
Here is a tip: Take the time and listen to the whole album with the lyrics in front of you. It will be a great journey!! Neal, may God continue to bless you with uncompromising truth in your ministry!
By the way, Sola Scriptura is definitely the complete message for us. Just read it."
Not what it appears to be

"Musically I think Morse is brilliant, though I like the music on this album less than the "One" CD. However, I give this album one star for the message itself, or rather the inconsistency of the message. While Morse claims to be a Christian buyers should be aware that actually he is an Arian. That is, he explicitly denies the deity of Jesus Christ - which is of course a core teaching of the New Testament and an essential doctrine of true Christianity. The denial of the divinity of Christ can be found in his comments here: [...]
This is not a nitpicky detail. It goes to the center of Christian faith. It is ironic that Morse urges us to go the Bible alone as our source of truth, but he fails to listen to its testimony on the most critical issue that it teaches. It is quite disingenious to hold Martin Luther up as a model for faith in that light. Luther would have been appalled at be associated with arianism, a doctrine that was rightfully condemned as heretical when it emerged in the life of the early church."
