Scot McKnight at Jesus Creed in "The Apostle of Grace", his introduction to a summer bible study on Romans, quotes N.T. Wright:

“Romans is neither a systematic theology nor a summary of Paul’s lifework, but it is by common consent his masterpiece.”

Scot is working through Romans this summer. Up to now he has had (after the introduction):

• "The Gospel of Grace"
• "Paul's Prayers for Rome"
• "The Gospel That Makes Things Right"
• "Wrath"

are the 1st five. You can pick up on the series and keep track of it under the Bible Studies category.
