The natural generalization of the relativistic theory of gravity (RTG) by incorporating a Brans-Dicke scalar field is discussed. The equation for a scalar-tensor gravitational field in Minkowski space and the expression for the total energy-momentum metric tensor of a gravitational field and nongravitational matter is derived from the variational principle with a gravitational Lagrangian quadratic in the first derivatives of the scalar and tensor gravitational potentials. The two-parameter spherically symmetrical static solution for vacuum equations with a zero mass tensor graviton was obtained. This solution has a true singular Schwarzschild surface. In the case of a nonzero mass graviton, an approximate nonsingular solution for the beginning of the universe was obtained. It is noted that in the frame of the scalar-tensor generalization of RTG, a nonsingular homogeneous isotropic cosmology can be represented, not only by cyclic models, but also by models with an infinitely expanding universe and a simultaneously decreasing gravitational scalar.
