Janet Hoskins, an anthropologist, produced this monograph as a systematic scholarly study of Cao Dai, the Vietnamese new religious movement founded in 1926 that combines elements of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and Catholicism under a single Supreme Being, Cao Dai. Based on long term ethnographic research among Cao Dai communities in Vietnam and in the diaspora that formed after 1975, it treats the movement's cosmology, spirit seance practice and central ritual iconography, including the Third Alliance Between God and Man depicted at the Holy See in Tay Ninh, in scholarly depth. Published by the University of Hawaii Press, it is the standard English language academic reference on Cao Dai as it moved from a Vietnamese national religion into a transpacific one.
