These themes have always been discussed by Calvinists on Brazilian soil, and only by the Reformed angle, for the lack of works of Arminius are not known in the theological academies of Brazil. At the beginning of the 21st century, a series of publications about the thinking of Jacob Arminius began, by Brazilian Arminians who struggled and are struggling not to promote meaningless discussions, but to show how Arminius thought and reflected the Sacred Scriptures, producing his messages and his studies to instruct the church where he was pastor in Holland. To the great joy of admirers of the works of Arminius, in 2015, Publishing House Assemblies of God of Brazil (CPAD) published in three volumes the Works of Arminius. This publication served as the basis for the present work, adding other works published by Brazilian and North American Arminian scholars. This work does not deal with all of Arminius's thinking, but it was of personal interest to reflect on Free Will and Predestination. The first chapter deals with the scene of the main controversies and also of the conflicts in the ecclesial reality of the Netherlands from 1609 to 1618. In this scenario were present as main protagonists Calvinists and Arminians. The second chapter deals with the theme of Predestination, not as fatalism, but for adoption and also for the glory of God. Predestination has as its scope the responsibility of the Christian in the Kingdom of God. And finally, the third chapter, which has as its content the meaning of Free Will and its powers to the dimensions of a free and responsible Christendom. It is hoped that all those who are involved in the content of this work will have spirit and action in order to be able to freely reflect on the thought of Jacob Arminius for the existence of a good social and ecclesial reality. / O presente trabalho tem como escopo o prop?sito de enfocar o pensamento teol?gico de Jac? Arm?nio, sobre as tem?ticas do Livre Arb?trio e da Predestina??o. Estes temas sempre foram discutidos por calvinistas em solo brasileiro, e somente pelo ?ngulo reformado, pelo fato de as obras de Arm?nio n?o serem conhecidas nas academias teol?gicas do Brasil. Neste in?cio do s?culo XXI, surgiu in?cio a uma s?rie de publica??es acerca do pensamento de Jac? Arm?nio, por arminianos brasileiros que se esfor?aram e est?o se esfor?ando com o intuito n?o de promover discuss?es sem sentido, mas mostrar como Arm?nio pensava e refletia as Sagradas Escrituras, produzindo suas mensagens e seus estudos para instruir a igreja em que foi pastor na Holanda. Para a grande alegria dos admiradores das obras de Arm?nio, no ano de 2015, a Casa Publicadora das Assembleias de Deus do Brasil (CPAD) publicou em tr?s volumes as Obras de Arm?nio. Essa publica??o serviu de base para o presente trabalho, somando-se outras obras publicadas por estudiosos arminianos brasileiros e norte-americanos. Este trabalho n?o trata de todo o pensamento de Arm?nio, mas foi de interesse pessoal, refletir acerca do Livre Arb?trio e da Predestina??o. O primeiro cap?tulo aborda o cen?rio das principais controv?rsias e, tamb?m, dos conflitos na realidade eclesial da Holanda de 1609 a 1618. Nesse cen?rio estavam presentes como principais protagonistas calvinistas e arminianos. Quanto ao segundo cap?tulo tem como abordagem a tem?tica da Predestina??o, n?o como fatalismo, mas para a ado??o e, tamb?m, para a gl?ria de Deus. Predestina??o tem como escopo a responsabilidade do crist?o no Reino de Deus. E por ?ltimo, o terceiro cap?tulo, que tem como conte?do o significado do Livre Arb?trio e seus poderes para as dimens?es de uma cristandade livre e respons?vel. Espera-se que todos aqueles e aquelas que se envolverem com o conte?do deste trabalho, tenham ?nimo e a??o, a fim de se poder refletir com liberdade sobre o pensamento de Jac? Arm?nio, para a exist?ncia de boa realidade social e eclesial.
