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.

It is distinct from the ''NIV Zondervan Study Bible'', edited by Don Carson and released in August 2015, which was later re-titled the ''NIV Biblical Theology Study Bible'' in September 2018.
