Jonathan Mitchell's New Testament Translation

Check out Jonathan Mitchell's translation of the New Testament available on the Greater Emmanuel site.  John G mentions it frequently in his writings. He describes it as "thoroughly accurate and rich in meaningful nuance" 

Jonnathon Mitchell describes the translation on his web site -

I want to share with you my passion for the Greek New Testament.  I have taken some bold steps to reveal to you its depth and richness, along with varying approaches to words, phrases and verses -- so that you, the reader, will have a greater participation in understanding our Lord, Jesus Christ, through the Greek Scriptures.

These studies and writings are interpretations considering the contexts, figures of speech, symbols, types of literature and cultural factors. I use Scripture to interpret Scripture, looking at the patterns of God's dealings as set forth in the Hebrew Bible.  Searching out the literal meaning of Greek words and endeavoring to minimize doctrinal bias, I depend upon the unveilings from His Spirit.  May this bless you in your search into the things of the Father, and to more authentically know the Truth, Who is our Life.

Check it out...and while you are there, poke around a bit at the GEF web site.  Lots there...writings and ministries both new and old.
