It really depends how you want to read the Bible. I like this bit (Matthew 22:34-40):

"Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question:
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."


That sums up what the Bible is about. Easy.

Alternatively, you can take stuff individually and consider it without any context. For instance, if you are Catholic, you get to enjoy a few gems such as (from the Book of Sirach) "A husband with a nagging wife is like an old man walking up a sandy hill".

More appropriately, lots of stuff in Leviticus. Some of that really needs to be considered in a historical context...
