What Hartshorne calls "the central religiou~ issue/ religious issue" (italics added) is really a strictly metaphysical issue -– namely, the issue about the credibility or truth of the metaphysical theism (or theistic metaphysics) necessarily implied by the constitutive assertion as well as the necessary presupposition of a particular religious faith, Lei.e., the radically monotheistic faith summed up in the Great Commandment.
