Answer:

This in part led to the Leipzig debate in summer 1519 with Johann Eck. This debate forced Luther to clarify some of his theories and doctrinal stances against the representative of the Catholic Church. ... This seems surprising; Luther's primary purpose in writing the 95 Theses was to protest the selling of indulgences.
