Abstract	In Jungian theory, every human being, including the Christian believer, has a shadow side to his or her personality. The shadow, then, like it or not, is a part of our common human lot, a part of the human being's fabric. The best any of us can do is to mitigate the effects of the shadow, by taking back into the self, integratively, those aspects of the shadow that we have projected onto others. As Jung believed, it is sheer fantasy to think we can eradicate the shadow from the self, or that, through religious devotion, suppress it into submission. Yet even if we could, by our own power and/or the power of God, straitjacket the shadow, would we want to live without that which not only at times brings us pain and sorrow, but at other times adds richness and depth to our living? This paper will take the position that it is in the best interests of the Christian believer to answer this question with a definitive, “No!”
