Click on the following links if you are interested in learning more or want to purchase any of these books.

Westminster Confession of Faith (Glasgow: Free Presbyterian Publications, 1994).
This edition contains the Shorter Catechism, Larger Catechism, and Confession (with Scripture proofs), plus several other useful documents like The Sum of Saving Knowledge and The Directory for the Public Worship of God. Purchase no substitute editions. This is definitely the one you want.

"The Westminster Confession is the last of the classic Reformed confessions and by far the most influential in the English-speaking world. Though it governed the Church of England only briefly, it has been widely adopted (sometimes with amendments) by British and American Presbyterian bodies as well as by many Congregational and Baptist churches. It is well known for its thoroughness, precision, conciseness, and balance."
--John Frame

CLASSICAL THEOLOGY
A Body of Divinity, The Ten Commandments, and The Lord's Prayer by Thomas Watson
Three classic Puritan expositions of Christian theology and ethics, theologically sound, edifying and practical by Thomas Watson (1692); published by Banner of Truth. These were favorites of C.H. Spurgeon. These three volumes make up Thomas Watson's complete Body of Practical Divinity, a commentary on the Westminster Shorter Catechism.

"Thomas Watson’s Body of Practical Divinity is one of the most precious of the peerless works of the Puritans; and those best acquainted with it prize it most. Watson was one of the most concise, racy, illustrative, and suggestive of those eminent divines who made the Puritan age the Augustan period of evangelical literature. There is a happy union of sound doctrine, heart-searching experience and practical wisdom throughout all his works, and his Body of Divinity is, beyond all the rest, useful to the student and the minister. Although Thomas Watson issued several most valuable books, comparatively little is known of him - even the dates of his birth and death are unknown. His writings are his best memorial; perhaps he needed no other, and therefore providence forbade the superfluity."
 --C. H. Spurgeon

SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY
Outlines of Theology by A. A. Hodge
A. A. Hodge (1823-1886), son of Charles Hodge, first issued this, his best known work, in 1860 following three years' missionary work in India and eleven in American pastorates. Spurgeon used this as a textbook in his training of pastors. Enlarged and revised, it was reprinted in its final form in 1878 when the younger Hodge had reached his full maturity and entered upon his eight memorable years' teaching at Princeton. As a masterful condensation, not only of what had been taught at Princeton Seminary for more than sixty years but of the doctrinal positions of historic Christianity itself, the OUTLINES earned for the author the description given him by Dr. Shedd, "the populariser of scientific theology".

BIBLICAL THEOLOGY
An Old Testament Theology by Bruce K. Waltke
The Old Testament is more than a religious history of the nation of Israel. It is more than a portrait gallery of heroes of the faith. It is even more than a theological and prophetic backdrop to the New Testament. Beyond these, the Old Testament is inspired revelation of the very nature, character, and works of God. As renowned Old Testament scholar Bruce Waltke writes in the preface of this book, the Old Testament’s every sentence is “fraught with theology, worthy of reflection.”

This book is the result of decades of reflection informed by an extensive knowledge of the Hebrew language, the best of critical scholarship, a deep understanding of both the content and spirit of the Old Testament, and a thoroughly evangelical conviction. Taking a narrative, chronological approach to the text, Waltke employs rhetorical criticism to illuminate the theologies of the biblical narrators. Through careful study, he shows that the unifying theme of the Old Testament is the “breaking in of the kingdom of God.” This theme helps the reader better understand not only the Old Testament, but also the New Testament, the continuity of the entire Bible, and ultimately, God himself.
