The Leipzig Debate (German: Leipziger Disputation) was a theological disputation originally between Andreas Karlstadt, Martin Luther and Johann Eck.
The debate centered on grace and free will and was initiated by Karlstadt and Eck in June 1519. Luther entered the discussion a month later, taking Karlstadt’s place. By that time, Eck had branded Luther a heretic, and Luther had replied with his own public attacks on Eck.

Between 1530 and 1542, Eck continued his attacks on the Reformation movement while defending the authority and traditions of the Catholic Church. In 1542, a rumor circulated that he had died.

Johann Maier von Eck (13 November 1486 – 13 February 1543), often anglicized as John Eck, was a German Catholic theologian, scholastic, prelate, and a pioneer of the counter-reformation who was among Martin Luther's most important interlocutors and theological opponents.
23 de jul. de 2020 · The disputation had its genesis in December of 1518 when Johann Eck published a set of twelve theses to be debated at Leipzig University. The initial challenge went to one of Luther’s colleagues, Andreas Karlstadt, but in subsequent announcements of the debate, it became clear that Eck’s target was truly Luther himself.
At one time a friend of Luther’s, Johann Eck became Luther’s staunchest adversary. Their debate in Leipzig proved to be a critical point in defining the authority and infallibility of the Pope and Scripture, the issue at the heart of the Reformation.
