A relativistic quantum theory of spinor particles in a gravitational field is constructed on the basis of Minkowski space and a gravitational field in the spirit of Faraday and Maxwell. Relativistic equations describing the change in the generalized 4-momentum of a particle and its intrinsic angular momentum in a gravitational field are obtained in the semiclassical approximation. It is shown that that all the well-known gravitational effects can be explained by the constructed theory and that the theoretical results agree with the experimental results. It follows naturally from the theory that the vacuum is unstable and that particles are produced in a gravitational field.
