I'm recommending this 2-Volume work by Michael Horton to anyone who will heed me:
Justification: Two-Volume Set (New Studies in Dogmatics) [Horton, Michael, Allen, Michael, Swain, Scott R.] on Amazon.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Justification: Two-Volume Set (New Studies in Dogmatics)

I had reached out to Mike after I read a few books my N.T. Wright in order to understand him (since Wright is so popular in some circles and I needed to get a handle on his method).
I gave my opinion to Mike about Wright and he confirmed my thoughts about where Wright goes (well) wrong. He told me that he dealt with Wright in his two volume work. He did, and then some.
This work is incredible. It traces the dogmatic and exegetical developments on Justification from the early Church to the present. It deals with every major thinker and traces development. Mike defends the Reformed view and demonstrates how many modern theologians (aka Wright) have failed to even read the Reformers even as they opine on what they taught in order to debunk them.
As Mike told me, it's standard Reformed theology but you walk away so thankful for how rich and Biblical our doctrine of Justification is.
I'm no prophet but this work could prove to be a very important work in years to come and be the most significant contribution he has made.
