In 1984, the College gave the clubs an ultimatum: Either admit women, or get off campus. They unanimously chose the second option. Then, in 1987, Lisa J.

That means many of us--including the 80% of Americans who say they believe in heaven--must fill in the blanks ourselves. In her new book, Newsweek religion editor Lisa Miller gives it a go, investigating the different concepts of eternity held by the world's most prominent religions and talking to religious scholars, pastors, monks and common folk alike to get a better idea of what heaven might be. For some, it's "a place that embodies the best...
