Has the Talmud (Mishnah, Gemara, etc.) been translated into English
(along with enough additional information to make it understandable
to someone not well-versed in Jewish theology?)

Yes, I'm aware that my request is akin to, say, "Brain-surgury
made simple" or "Calculus in five easy lessons", so no flames on
that score.

While I'm curious for myself (a brief look in a local bookstore
turned up nothing), this note was prompted by a similar question
by Don Black (8-Aug-1985) who stated that his only source for
Talmudic questions has been "so-called 'hate-literature'" and
that he "asked a book dealer a year ago to find [him] one.
[He's] still waiting."
