Keir Hardie was a founder and the first parliamentary leader of the
Labour Party. At the turn of the 19th century he was Labour's most
famous face. But despite being voted Labour's 'Greatest Hero' at
the 2008 Party Conference, in recent years his extraordinary story
seems all but forgotten. Born illegitimate just outside Glasgow in
1856, his life didn't start gently. Before the age of 10, he was
the sole wage earner in his working class, atheist family. He never
went to school but was self-taught, avidly reading books lent him
by a kind young clergyman. This led to two major conversions in his
life: first to Christianity, and then to socialism. While earlier
biographies have neglected the former, pointing out his experience
of hardship as the source of his passion for social justice, the
role of Christianity in Hardie's life was profound. It shaped his
involvement in many of the greatest social changes of the time.
