Where do we go from here? TIME brings you a visually inspiring exploration of humankind's speculation about the afterlife, from the Christian view of heaven to its myriad spiritual and literary versions: Valhalla, Nirvana, Shangri-La and many other concepts of paradise. The quest is not just a spiritual one, but a scientific and eyewitness journey as well. Fully 85% of Americans believe in heaven, according to Gallup, and now TIME takes you on an unforgettable quest into what it may look like.

Our quest for understanding the afterlife include:

  • What are the common elements (and key differences) in how cultures around the world view the afterlife?
  • Ware Near-death Experiences and why do so many people report similar accounts?
  • Do we have a psychological need to believe in life after death?
  • How did the biblical version of heaven take shape?
  • What are the best literary depictions of heaven, from Pardiso by Dante to The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold.
