Gary Scott Smith poses two major questions: How have Americans viewed heaven? And how have they believed people get there? He argues that Americans in all periods have agreed about some aspects of heavenly life, but that the predominant conception of heaven has varied from era to era because of the close connection of depictions of paradise with social, economic, political, and cultural trends during different periods.
