The Original and Present State of Man, Briefly Considered: Wherein Is Shewn, The Nature of His Fall, and the Necessity, Means and Manner of His Restoration, Through the Sacrifice of Christ, and the Sensible Operation of That Divine Principle of Grace and Truth, Held Forth to the World, by the People Called Quakers; to Which Are Added, Some Remarks on the Arguments of Samuel Newton, of Norwich* by Joseph Phipps, London, Printed; New-York, Re-printed by William Ross, No. 33, Broad-Street, 1788.

The Original and Present State of Man by Joseph Phipps, first published in the late 18th century, is a key Quaker theological text addressing humanity’s fall, redemption through Christ, and the Quaker principle of divine grace. The 1788 New York edition reflects the spread of Quakerism to America. Written to defend Quaker beliefs, it also engages with theological debates of its time.
