Blue Letter Bible

Welcome to the Wrap Report with Andrew Rapoport, where we provide biblical interpretations and applications. This is a ministry of Striving for Eternity. For more content or to request a speaker or seminar for your church, go to strivingforeternity .org.

All right, well, welcome to the Wrap Report. And today we're recording, well, we're out here in California. And I am in the headquarters, actually, specifically in the library of Blue Letter Bible, which means from the looks of around here, I may not be leaving anytime soon, because there's a lot of cool old books here.

Andrew Guastafaro and the Meaning of Names

But I'm joined, and I'm going to have to let you pronounce your last name, but I'm joined with someone who has a absolutely great first name, and from the looks of him, he lives up to it. If you know what the Greek word Andrew means, it means manly.

But, Andy, if you want to introduce yourself for a moment. Sure, sure. My name is Andy Guastafaro, good Italian last name, and my middle name is Joseph, which is man of God, so I am a manly man of God.

Couldn't be much better than that, huh? That's great. So he knows the meaning of his first and middle name, that's great. What's the last name mean? Do you know? It's something to do with iron scraps of some sort.

Okay. Pharaoh, Fiero or something. For folks here, let's first start off with, now, Blue Letter Bible, I recommend when we do our, I have a seminar I do in churches, I come into churches and do our Bible Interpretation Made Easy seminar, where we go through different tools people can use to help in interpreting scriptures.

Why Blue Letter Bible Is a Valuable Free Resource

Blue Letter Bible is one that I've always recommended to folks for a lot of reasons, and I think hopefully by the end of this podcast, everyone's going to understand those reasons. One, being Jewish, it's mostly free.

You know, I get to use it and not pay for it.
