Dear Steve D.
Mitchells NT is not supposed to be translation for the everyday reader. His work is exegetical and expository and reveals the nuances of the NT Greek. I have been studying the NT in the Greek for 25 years. Mr. Mitchells work is accurate and true to the Greek. It sounds to me that you have never studied the Greek. You sound like man criticizing race car drivers, yet who has never been in a race car. I would respectfully suggest you to study NT Greek before you criticize Mr Mitchells work. I have been using his NT for about two years and it has been a blessings. You owe Mr. Mitchell and apology.
Many blessings
Pastor Jose Alvarez
