We must see that Moses is finished as a lawgiver just as Aaron is finished as a priest. Aaron was replaced with a new high priest who is greater and better (Heb. 6:20-8:6).

Theology is "practical" in the fullest, most robust sense: it is a matter not of building systems of ideas so much as it is of world-building, or rather, of building up the world into the fullness of Christ (Eph. 1:22–23). Being biblical, then, ultimately refers to what may be termed a "political" task: building the city of God amidst the ruins of the city of Man.
