Before I go any further in developing the background research for my dissertation, I should explain as concisely as possible what my ministry plan actually entails.
My ministry model is a retreat for high school youth called "Framing Your Faith". The goal, in short, is to provide effective teaching -> leading to deep comprehension -> leading to self-directed study.
To put it in classroom objectives form:
By the end of the retreat, students will be able (1) to summarize the biblical metanarrative in their own words and (2) identify biblical themes within specific practice passages of Scripture and (3) analyze their impact on meaning.
The further hope is that three weeks after the retreat, the students will be engaged in self-directed study of Scripture on a daily basis.
The approach will be to employ common sense, biblical teaching practices to effectively convey the bible's metanarrative in a fun and engaging way so as to give the students a firm spiritual foundation. In addition to that, I want to provide practical resources to equip the students to continue building upon that foundation for themselves after the retreat ends.
