Current is a somewhat relative term.  It doesn't necessarily mean that the author is still living.  In relation to Bernard's ICC commentary on John dated 1929, Beasley-Murray's dated 2002 is current.  In relation to B.F. Westcott's dated 1908, it's absolutely new.  Westcott, BTW, is another that hasn't been mentioned.  It doesn't have an overwhelming amount of Greek, but neither does it totally neglect the Greek.  It isn't until almost half-way through the commentary that he actually begins to comment on the text in order.

Just as a matter of interest- Beasley-Murray died several years back. 
(I'm responding to your "current scholar" bit).

Best
