Last three years? Hmmm.
A book published in the last three years? Or just that I’ve read during the last three years?
If it’s the latter then I’d go with Jenny Lawson’s – Let’s Pretend This Never Happened.

*The Invention of God* by Thomas Römer. It’s a synthesis of work done on the history of the evolution of Israelite religion from polytheism to monotheism, it’s posits, quite convincingly, that some of the stages in this evolution were the result of theological interpretations by priestly elites of geopolitical events in Israel/Palestine, specifically the Assyrian invasion of Samaria, the siege (but not the invasion) of Jerusalem by Sennacherib, and the conquest of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar; each of these events was interpreted in a way which gradually focused theological importance on the worship of one god in one sanctioned location. It’s isn’t a particularly fun read, but it’s remarkably well-written.
