Is Calvinism The Pearl Of Great Price?

Years ago, I asked my dear friend, Bob Ross of Pilgrim Publications, about his seeming softness on Calvinism. His reply to me has echoed in my ears many times over the years. He said, in so many words, that he just could not understand the enthusiasm of some who promote Calvinism (or "doctrines of grace"). He said some think that in finding Calvinism and grace theology they had found the "pearl of great price." Well, after all these years of thinking about this, I have to say "amen." I hope you know what I mean and do not need to explain it.
