Michael,
If you have access to THE EXPOSITORY TIMES, you may find that the
article by Kenneth Grayston in the December 1996 issue is of help.
It is about 3000 words in length, very easy to read, and consists of a
brief introductory section, a summary of Romans section by section, and
a concluding paragraph. The article is entitled - "READING THE BOOK -
PAUL'S LETTER TO THE ROMANS"
