Indeed. From what I have read from evangelicals, the 'literal' parts are the parts that have not yet been shown to be incorrect in some fashion, the metaphorical parts are either those that have been shown to be in error or more likely, those parts that do not fit into a modern day conservative political ideology.That's not actually very hard.
The admonition to love foreigners, for example, is dismissed by many evangelicals today because it goes against their hatred of minorities, and the dismissal is justified by claiming that such admonitions only applied to the ancient Hebrews. Same with caring for the poor and not being greedy.
