I recently finished this book. It is a great introduction to the status questionis (state of research) on the whole πίστις Χριστοῦ (pistis Christou) debate. The books examines all the major (and some minor) suggestions that have been proposed over the years, so if you want a quick (well, not terribly quick) update, this is the book to read. It is full of technical arguments from the Greek and exegetical gymnastics defending each position.

The two article I found the most interesting were the one on the gospel of John, and the one by Ben Myers, probably because they are tangential to the normal arguments :)

I'll be excerpting from them this week.
