Abstract
Dispensational and covenantal theology are two distinct systems that are frequently used to understand Scripture. The relationship of these theological systems to children and family life is reviewed. A brief survey was mailed to 30 covenantal churches and 30 dispensational churches. Covenantal theology was associated with greater frequency of dedication/baptism, family worship, larger family size, and second-generation missionary families than dispensational theology, though not all differences were statistically significant. No differences were found with respect to children's behavior problems or social skills. Sampling problems, methodological limitations and further research needs are discussed.
