Abstract
A scalar theory of gravitation is developed from a variational principle. The speed of light is taken to be a function of the potential of the gravitational field. The predictions of the light deflection and the advancement of the perihelion agree with those made by Einstein's theory. The gravitational (active) mass differs from the inertial (passive) mass and both are dependent on the gravitational potential.
