Idolatry

In the last couple months I've been heavily influenced, to say the least, by reading many of N.T. Wright's books. By far, the greatest impact he has had on me is showing me what the resurrection is about and God's plan to "put the world to rights." As I finished reading Surprised By Hope I was struck by this definition of idolatry:

"But idolatry is always the perversion of something good. Greed-worshiping the appetites and what they feed on- is the perversion of the God-given instinct for the proper enjoyment of the good creation. The proper response to idolatry is therefore not dualism, the rejection of space, time, or matter as themselves evil or dangerous, but the renewed worship of the Creator God, which sets the context for the proper enjoyment and use of the created order without the danger of worshiping it. Our living within and enjoyment and use of space, time, and matter must constantly be measured against the story of Jesus, in his sharing of space, time, and matter as the Incarnate Son; in his death,which passes judgment on all idolatry and sin; and in his resurrection, in which space, time, and matter are renewed in his body, anticipating the final renewal of all things."
