The Bible at Qumran puts the Dead Sea Scrolls to use in exploring two principal themes: the text and shape of the “Bible” at Qumran and the interpretation of these scriptures in this fascinating Jewish community. Written by leading scholars in the field, these informed studies make an important contribution to our understanding of the biblical text at a pivotal period in history.

Dr. Peter W. Flint along with Dr. Martin J. Abegg, Jr. are directors of the Dead Sea Scroll Institute at Trinity Western University.

From Eerdmans academic series. In this book, the inaugural volume in the Studies in the Dead Sea Scrolls and Related Literature series, Craig Evans and Peter Flint have assembled eight essays from outstanding scholars who address this issue from a variety of angles. After an introduction by the editors, successive essays deal with the Old Testament foundations of messianism; the figure of Daniel at Qumran; the Teacher of Righteousness; the expectation of the end in the Scrolls; and Jesus, Paul, and John seen in light of Qumran.

Here are the specific articles (outstanding article on Daniel!):

Published in 1992, this book makes available texts from Cave Four that were among the latest released. Most popular books don't have these texts. Most of these are smaller fragments, which is why they weren’t quickly released. The colorful names are assign by the authors strictly for popular appeal and they frequently exaggerate (IMHO) the content and implications of these texts. Mainline scholarship has been harsh on the theories of these authors, so proceed with some caution or check-out at the library first. Nevertheless, there are several interesting texts which are other wise hard to locate. For those interested in Daniel, check-out The Vision of Four Kingdoms 4Q547.

I know you want the details, keep in mind many of these ‘documents’ are only small fragments with no coherent paragraphs:
