Is There a Patented Technique to Study the OT?

Here's a blurb on studying the Old Testament and the sad state some seem to follow:


'I sometimes weary of all the “technique” we put into interpretation, as if working with OT narrative, for example, is some sort of high-priestly craft which only those who know the best buzz-words can carry off. Rather, I think simply a desire to get at the message of the text and an assumption that all OT texts are “preaching” texts will carry one a long way.'
