Original discussion: is there a bart erhman equivalent in islam.

Here's how Wikipedia describes it,

"An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, generally referred to by its shortened title The Wealth of Nations, is the magnum opus of the Scottish economist and moral philosopher Adam Smith (1723–1790). First published in 1776, the book offers one of the world's first connected accounts of what builds nations' wealth, and has become a fundamental work in classical economics. This is the first formulation of a comprehensive system of political economy. Reflecting upon economics at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, Smith addresses topics such as the division of labour, productivity, and free markets."

"The Interpretation of Dreams (German: Die Traumdeutung) is an 1899 book by Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, in which the author introduces his theory of the unconscious with respect to dream interpretation, and discusses what would later become the theory of the Oedipus complex. Freud revised the book at least eight times and, in the third edition, added an extensive section which treated dream symbolism very literally, following the influence of Wilhelm Stekel. Freud said of this work, "Insight such as this falls to one's lot but once in a lifetime.""

There are tons of books whose ideas and theories Wikipedia will call outdated or debunked. Clearly not these.

You might as well argued Democracy in America by Tocqueville or The Republic by Plato outdated as well. Or the Communist Manifesto or Das Kapital. Einstein didn't make Newton's physics suddenly a relic of the past, introductory physics classes in all universities still teach Newtonian physics.
