Ebeling's Word-Event

Gerhard Ebeling's concept of the word-event
"for Ebeling the task of Christian faith is to translate the primitive Christian message in such a way that the original word-event takes place afresh in each new historical situation."

The post linked above tantalizingly raises the problem of ressourcement and the theological category of 'event,' but I would like a bit more elaboration, and to better understand exactly what Ebeling's point is.
