That is one approach. On the other hand you have examples of original 
approaches to Tanach, in which category I would place Rambam, RSRH, and 
the Chief Rabbi, just to begin naming names. RSRH also advocates 
strongly for Navi to build the core of one's spiritual life, IIRC. I 
believe relevant material is found in the Talmud Torah chapter of Horeb, 
which I do not have to hand.
