Goldsworthy is best known for his motif of "God's people in God's place under God's rule." He has been influential across the world, but especially in the Anglican Diocese of Sydney. Michael Jensen notes that, along with that of Donald Robinson and Bill Dumbrell, Goldsworthy's work "has been crucial for shaping how Sydney Anglicans think about and preach from the Bible." Eric Brian Watkins suggests that it has "done much to vitalize interest" in redemptive-historical preaching and hermeneutics. Goldworthy's approach heavily influenced The Big Picture Story Bible.
