This Week's Debate
Coming Soon!
PublicSquare.net is proud to offer incisive debates on the major political, legal, religious, and social issues of the day. We invite today’s leading experts to engage one another in thoughtful, intelligent discussion.
Each week will feature one debate from one of four sections on a rotating basis:
The Politics section is where the major political issues are debated, with a mix of foreign and domestic policy.
The Law section tackles pending Supreme Court cases and other cases winding their way through the legal system, along with occasional debates on theories of constitutional jurisprudence.
The Religion section seeks to encompass three things: (1) apologetics, in which one denomination is attacked and then responds, (2) intra-denominational disputes, where two scholars of the same denomination on opposite sides of a divisive issue debate each other, and (3) ecumenism, where two denominations explore the possibility of unification.
The Society section covers the major social issues: abortion, homosexuality, stem cell research, immigration, education, feminism, racial issues, etc.

Blog: The Square Deal
The Square Deal is where PublicSquare.net's own editors post their own thoughts on the debates on the site or other controversial matters. PublicSquare.net does not have any editorial positions itself, but that doesn't keep our editors from voicing their own opinions.

Podcast
Our daily podcast will consist of an interview on a subject in the news with an expert who knows the subject well. The objective is to go "beyond the headlines" and provide listeners with a deeper understanding of the subject by asking tough questions--no softballs.

Reviews
This is where, each day, a newly published nonfiction book will be reviewed by an intellectual who fundamentally disagrees with the central premise of the book itself. No praiseworthy reviews here. We expect scathing, critical reviews from both the right and the left, with the author of the book invited to respond.
