By focusing on the familial aspect of God's relationship with humanity, Hahn solves a common problem for modern readers: the disconnect between the God of the Old Testament and the God of the New Testament.

Some conservative Protestants accuse him of "proof-texting" the Catholic faith. And some progressives find his loyal adherence to Magisterial teaching (including Humanae Vitae and the all-male priesthood) to be frustrating.
