The Complete Dead Sea Scrolls in English
translated by Geza Vermes
This book is indeed in English. Complete? Not so much. What the book contains is translations of all the published Dead Sea Scrolls except the ones that are actual Biblical text. Oh, and the myriad bits and scraps that contain only a word or two. Still that leaves 635 pages of material, not counting the Appendix. Reading it was, well, a varied experience. Some of it was interesting, some was dreadfully dull. It would serve as waiting room material in a pinch, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone but a scholar who had need of it as a reference book.
