Philippe-Jacques Abraham

Philippe-Jacques Abraham (Orahim Pillipus Yaqub) (3 January 1848 – 28 August 1915) was an ethnic Assyrian bishop of the Chaldean Catholic Church.

He was born in Telkef in 1848. He joined the Rabban Hormizd Monastery at a young age where he pursued his clerical studies and was consecrated as a bishop by the Syro-Malabar Church in British India on 25 July 1875. Seven years later he was consecrated as a bishop for the Chaldeans of the Jazira region by Joseph VI Audo.

During the Assyrian genocide he tried to ask for protection from the local Kurdish Agha to spare the city's Christians. His efforts were ultimately futile and he was arrested by the Ottoman authorities on 21 August 1915. The authorities had him executed a week later alongside the Syriac Catholic bishop Flavianus Michael Malke and his body was dragged in the town's streets.
