A full English translation of the Talmud can be found at
http://www.sacred-texts.com/jud/talmud.htm.
This site has the following interesting comment:
A search for Talmud at Google will turn up hundreds of thousands of hits, a
depressing number of which are to anti-Semitic sites. However, to our knowledge
this is the first extensive English translation of the Talmud to be posted on
the Internet. The Talmud is a vast collection of Jewish laws and traditions.
Despite the dry subject matter the Talmud makes interesting reading because it
is infused with vigorous intellectual debate, humor and deep wisdom. As the
saying goes, 'you don't have to be Jewish' to appreciate this text. If you put
in the hard work required to read the Talmud, your mind will get a world-class
workout. The process of studying the Talmud has been compared with the practice
of Zen Buddhist Koan meditation, and for good reason.
