  In this paper using the Clifford bundle formalism a Lagrangian theory of the
Yang-Mills type (with a gauge fixing term and an auto interacting term) for the
gravitational field in Minkowski spacetime is presented. It is shown how two
simple hypothesis permit the interpretation of the formalism in terms of
effective Lorentzian or teleparallel geometries. In the case of a Lorentzian
geometry interpretation of the theory the field equations are shown to be
equivalent to Einstein's equations.
