O Crime Do Padre Amaro
''O Crime do Padre Amaro: cenas da vida devota'' (published in translations as ''The Crime of Father Amaro: Scenes from the Religious Life'' or ''The Sin of Father Amaro''), is a novel by the 19th-century Portuguese writer José Maria de Eça de Queiroz. It was first published in 1875 to great controversy. Background Eça finished the first draft of this novel in 1875. He sent it to some friends who ran a literary magazine, with the request that they return the proofs so he could edit them. However, they began to serialise the story without allowing him to see the proofs. He subsequently revised the novel and submitted it to a publisher in 1876 but it was barely noticed by the public. Eça then wrote ''Cousin Bazilio'', returning to ''The Crime of Father Amaro'' only after the publication of ''Cousin Bazilio'' in 1878. The third version involved an extensive rewrite and was described by Eça as "an entirely new novel". Plot summary The novel concerns a young priest, Amaro, who s ...

Christians
A Christian () is a person who follows or adheres to Christianity, a monotheistic Abrahamic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.

While there are diverse interpretations of Christianity which sometimes conflict, they are united in believing that Jesus has a unique significance. The term ''Christian'' used as an adjective is descriptive of anything associated with Christianity or Christian churches, or in a proverbial sense "all that is noble, and good, and Christ-like." According to a 2011 Pew Research Center survey, there were 2.3 billion Christians around the world, up from about 600 million in 1910.
