I fail to see how the article, and particularly that quote in any way peg Wall as a Deist. Or were you rather arguing that he is a theist (not a Deist)? Deism and Evangelical Christianity aren't even close to the same thing:

My bad. You were right about my mistake. Thanks for the link ... I have idea if Wall falls into this category - seems unlikely.
