There are a lot of different ways to do this based on what your ultimate goal is (use WP login page, a custom login page, etc...). You can try adding this to your theme's functions.php file:

if ( ( is_single() || is_front_page() || is_page() || is_archive() || is_tax() )
    && ! is_page( 'login' ) && ! is_page('register') && ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
    auth_redirect(); 
}

Or you can use the plugin, Force Login

Theoretically, you can probably just use this, just haven't tested...

if( ! is_page('login') && ! is_page('register') && ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
    auth_redirect(); 
}
