The interpretation of Romans 7 is hugely debated, namely the identity of the "I." Although it is not a new article, Derek Brown offers here six reasons that Paul is writing from the perspective of a post-conversion Christian.
John Piper's post here will not settle the difficult interpretive issues related to Romans 7:14-25 but it is worth considering.
Some might ask whether we really need another commentary on Romans with a number of excellent and recent works already available (e.g., Moo, Schreiner). But I think Frederick Dale Bruner's forthcoming volume might suggest that there is room for one more for at least two reasons. First, in this interview, Bruner seems to see Romans as a gospel-oriented work. This might not seem to be all that significant to those who are not involved in the academic world, but for those of us that are, it is a welcome change from other less traditional, and I believe incorrect, approaches to the epistle (e.g., new perspective). Second, Bruner's previous commentaries on Matthew and John were characterized by both exegetical and spiritual insights. There is a I am hoping for more of the same in his treatment of Romans.
You can read an excerpt of his forthcoming commentary here.
Jared Compton has a pretty good post here on what Paul means by "all Israel will be saved’ in Romans 11:26.
Carl Rasmussen has a helpful post here on Erastus of Corinth, a personage mentioned in Acts 19:22; Romans 16:13; 2 Timothy 4:20.
