The full biblio info for Fisdale's book is:
The Dead Sea Scrolls : Understanding Their Spiritual Message, Steven A.
Fisdel, Norhtvale, NJ: Jason Aronson, 1997.
The title is enough to make me want to review the book 'in-hand' before
purchase.
Another title which has received good reviews is:
The Dead Sea Scrolls Translated : The Qumran Texts in English,
Florentino Garcia Martinez (Editor), Wilfred G. E. Watson (Translator),
Florentino Martinez, Grand Rapids: Wm B Eerdmans Pub Co., 1996.
For future reference a good web site to find basic info about books is:
