Well after reading and having a good understanding of

Louis Berkoff Systematic Theology, Calvin's institutes and the Westminster confession (study guide from G.I. Williamson)...

It might be a good idea to see some of the sources from which those men drew, or to see things laid out in more detail. Therefore I would recommend:

Francis Turretin, Institutes of Elenctic Theology
Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica
Augustine, Enchiridion

That should keep you busy for a while.

Thomas Aquinas isn't he like the main RC theologian?

Thanks guys ill be sure to check out the other ones

Aquinas is the glory of medieval Christendom. Anyway, whether directly or indirectly, he did exercise a massive influence on subsequent doctrinal discussions.

In addition to some of the excellent suggestions above (e.g., slowly digesting Turretin), it might be good to add some more topical, or -- even more so -- exegetical works to your studies. Some good commentaries on scripture would be great. Or perhaps, for a real treat, you could try Thomas Goodwin's sermons on Ephesians. These will be a theology course all in themselves.

They who perceive in themselves discoveries of the divine goodness, so full and absolutely perfect, and who make them the subject of earnest meditation, will never embrace new doctrines, by which the very grace they feel so powerfully in themselves is thrown into the shade. --John Calvin
