A short thought: Reading the Word afresh

What if we had never grown up learning about Christianity from other people, and the first introduction we had to Christianity and to the person of Jesus was reading through the entire New Testament in one sitting. What would be the overall sentiment and impressions we would come away with? What would be the main topics and themes that would emerge the strongest? I want to think about this question more and try reading the Bible with this fresh perspective and (as best I can) without presuppositions or biases, and with an open mind and heart. I think I might be surprised.
