If you are interested in some Reformed essentials:
>Institutes of the Christian Religion by John Calvin
>A Body of Divinity by Thomas Watson for a more Puritan work
>Augustine for his soteriology
One or more of the following
>Heidelberg Catechism
>Belgic Confession
>Canons of Dort
>Westminster Confession
>Second London Baptist Confession
If you are looking for a Bible commentary you can't go wrong with Matthew Henry
