The Jews who write for the NYTimes—and there are plenty of them—are all left-wing secular Jews, who pay no more attention to the Old Testament than the New.
This guy hates Christians not because he is Jewish, but because he is the kind of typical left-wing secular bigot that the Times always chooses for its “religion” writers. God could strike him with a lightning bolt and he probably wouldn’t notice.
The only religion the Times likes is Islam because it's anti-American like them.
