"Lisa Miller on her New Book, 'Heaven: Our Enduring Fascination with the Afterlife'" from The Takeaway

From "The Lovely Bones" to "What Dreams May Come: A Novel," our popular conception of heaven is becoming increasingly beautiful and irreligious. We talk to Lisa Miller, Religion Editor at Newsweek Magazine and author of the new book "Heaven: Our Enduring Fascination with the Afterlife." She joins us with a look at changing conceptions of heaven through the years. And she tells us that this is a personal story as well.
In the podcast, Miller says, "Belief in hell is tanking; it's tanking worse than the economy tanked last year." Download the podcast here.
