Abstract
A general relativistic and nontopological soliton is constructed by coupling a nonlinear scalar field to the standard gravitational field. Our results replicate the basic features of the special relativistic case: namely, a singularity-free lump with a discrete spectrum of eigensolutions. The central singularities and horizon that appear in the black hole solitons of string theory are not present.
