<dt>Description</dt>
<dd>We extend the standard Feynman-Deser approach of field theoretical derivation of Einstein's gravitational theory. We show that it is possible to obtain a theory that incorporates a great part of General Relativity (GR) and can be interpreted in the standard geometrical way like GR, as far as the interaction of matter to gravity is concerned. The most important distinction of the new theory concerns the gravity to gravity interaction. This theory satisfies all standard tests of gravity and lead to new predictions about gravitational propagation. Since there is a large expectation that the detection of gravitational waves will occur in the near future, the question of which theory describes Nature better will probably be settled soon.</dd>
