Doctrinally, the NIV Study Bible reflects traditional evangelical Christian theology. Many of the contributors of the NIV Study Bible are from evangelical institutions.
Key features of the NIV Study Bible include archaeological notes, commentary from different sources, and extensive introductions to each book. Notes from translators who worked on the NIV translation add additional clarifying information.
Zondervan has also published King James Version, Today's New International Version, and New American Standard Bible editions of this bible, with similar notes.
