Er begründete die bis heute bestehende Hahn’sche Gemeinschaft und vertrat eine theosophisch geprägte Frömmigkeit samt der Lehre der Allversöhnung, womit er bei Vertretern der lutherischen Orthodoxie auf Widerspruch stieß. Für Bibelleser heute bieten seine Schriften und geistlichen Lieder eine meditative, auf persönliche Heiligung und seelsorgerlichen Trost ausgerichtete Schriftauslegung.
