The article you're looking for might be:

C.F.D. Moule, "The Biblical Concept of 'Faith'," _Expository Times_ 68 (1957): 157 (he argues [albiet briefly] for the objective genitive).

Here is a bibliography of the most significant contributions that I know of (which is no claim to be exhaustive).  Also, I'm sure any commentary would comment on it.  For what it's worth, I prefer to subjective genitive.

Dunn, J.D.G., "Once More: Pistis Christou," _SBL 1991 Sem. Papers_ (Atlanta" Scholars, 1991) pp. 730-44.

Hay, D.M., "Pistis as 'Ground for Faith' in Hellenized Judaism and Paul," _JBL_ 108 (1989) : 461-76.

Hays, R.B., "Pistis and Pauline Christology," _SBL 1991 Sem. Papers_ (Atlanta" Scholars, 1991) pp. 714-29

Hebert, G., "'Faithfulness' and 'Faith,'" _Theology_ 58 (1955) : 373-379.

Hooker, M.D. "Pistis Christou," _New Testament Studies_ 35 (1989) : 321-342.

Howard, George, "Notes and Observations on the Faith of Christ," _Harvard Theological Review_ 60 (1967) : 459-484.

           ,  "The 'Faith of Christ,'" _The Expository Times_ 85 (1974) : 212-215.

Hultgren, A.J., "The Pistis Christou Formulation in Paul," _Novum Testamentum_ 22 (1980) : 248-263.

Johnson, L.T., "Rom 3:21-26 and the Faith of Jesus," _The Catholic Biblical Quarterly_ 44 (1982) : 77-90.

Ljungman, Henrik, _Pistis:  A Study of its Presuppositions and its Meaning in Pauline Use_ (Lund: C.K.W. Gleerup, 1964).

Longenecker, B.W.,  "Pistis in Romans 3:25:  The Neglected Evidence for the 'Faithfulness of Christ,'" _New Testament Studies_ 39 (1993) : 478-480.

O'Rourke, J.J., "Pistis in Romans," _Catholic Biblical Quarterly_  35 (1973) : 188-194.

Robinson, D.W.B., "Faith of Jesus Christ," _Reformed Theological Review_ 29 (1970) : 71-81

Taylor, G.M.,  "The Function of Pistis in Galatians," _The Journal of Biblical  Literature_ 85 (1966) : 58-76.

Williams, S.K., "Again Pistis Christou," _The Catholic Biblical Quarterly_ 49 (1987) : 431- 447.

Cheers,

Hello listmates! I've recently been looking again at the tendency of translators to tranlate PISTEWS IHSOU XRISTOU (pardon my transliteration) in the objective sense, feeling that (I'm sure this has been said before) their translations are governed by their theology rather than the other way around. I'm told that C. F. D. Moule has written rather convincingly that the subjective genitive would be more appropriate, but can't find the source.  Can anyone point me to his, or other similar work? It seems that there is a slow-but-growing tendency to abandon the triumphalistic "faith in Jesus" for the "faith of Jesus" in Pauline circles.  Am I seeing what I want to see, or do some of you feel the same way? Thanks so much in advance for your guidance/suggestions. Yours, Jeff KrantzMercer School of Theology---
