On page 4 we are told:
According to the Hebrew Bible, Abrahamic monotheism entered the world as a rejection of imperialism and the use of force to make some men masters and others slaves.
In fact, the Bible accepts imperialism when the dominant nation is righteous. Thus, Israel is promised that if they are pious then they will rule over many nations (Deut. 15.6).

Later on the same page we are told:
Abraham himself, the man revered by 2.4 billion Christians, 1.6 billion Muslims and 13 million Jews, ruled no empire, commanded no army, conquered no territory, performed no miracles and delivered no prophecies.
In Gen. 14, Abram, later called Abraham, rallies his allies and the members of his household against four kings in Battle of Siddim. Surely this qualifies as commanding an army.
