The Lamp is an American bimonthly magazine devoted to literature, culture, and politics from a Catholic perspective.[1][2] It was founded in 2020 by Matthew Walther and William Borman.[3][dead link]

The magazine regularly features reporting, personal essays, and book reviews on a broad range of topics. It seeks "with reporting, incisive commentary, and coverage of books and the arts to bring the mind of the Church and a generous, urbane spirit to bear on the questions of modern life."[4] The Lamp has been described by The Catholic Spirit, the official newspaper of the Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, as "a Catholic version of The New Yorker."[5]

The magazine derives its logo from a previous English Catholic periodical of the same name, published by Thomas Earnshaw Bradley during the Victorian era.[6]
