But it strikes me as a materialistic answer. If the body is resurected why do we need a soul, then? Ever hear of substance dualism?

The belief that the soul and body can be disconnected from each other, isn't really supportable. You can't have one without the other.

It isn't that we love the material world, it is that we see the two as irreductably connected. This is why it doesn't make sense to say that Christianity hates the body and it's pleasures, rather it seeks the pleasures to be directed in a proper manner.
