This paper is concerned with the existence of solutions of two point boundary value problems for functional differential equations. Specifically, we consider
\[
y
′
(
t
)
=
L
(
t
,
y
t
)
+
f
(
t
,
y
t
)
,
M
y
a
+
N
y
b
=
ψ
,
y’(t) = L(t,{y_t}) + f(t,{y_t}),\quad M{y_a} + N{y_b} = \psi ,
\]
where M and N are linear operators on
C
[
0
,
h
]
C[0,h]
. Growth conditions are imposed on f to obtain the existence of solutions. This result is then specialized to the case where
L
(
t
,
y
t
)
=
A
(
t
)
y
(
t
)
L(t,{y_t}) = A(t)y(t)
, that is, when the reduced linear equation is an ordinary rather than a functional differential equation. Several examples are discussed to illustrate the results.
