No name is more synonymous with suave sophistication and danger than James Bond. And no actor filled the spy's black calf oxfords more often-or with quite the eyebrow-up charm-than the late Roger Moore. Witty and stylish, Moore, who died in May 2017, embodied the spirit of Ian Fleming's globe-trotting secret agent in Live and Let Die, The Spy Who Loved Me, and five other 007 classics. In LIFE Bond. James Bond we pay tribute to this iconic star and all of the agents who came before and after him-the seminal Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig. A special section on the history of the Bond franchise provides rare photographs from on the set and off and yields inside intelligence on each film's behind-the-scenes politics, business deals, and casting calls. Plus: an essay by TIME's acclaimed film and culture critic Richard Corliss examines how Bond reflects and influences the world at large. No matter who your favorite 007 is or which 007 film you like the best, LIFE Bond. James Bond delivers.

In the late 1940s, perhaps the greatest archeological find of modern times occurred when Bedouin shepherds unearthed mysterious scrolls in a cave near the Dead Sea, just south of Jerusalem. These documents turned out to be manuscripts-some of them biblical-reflecting the beliefs of a vanished Jewish sect that fled Jerusalem during the time of Christ. But what was the connection between the documents and the ruins of an abandoned nearby settlement known as Qumran? Like some holy, historical cross between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Da Vinci Code, LIFE's book follows the race to unearth-and decode-the many other manuscripts hidden in the desert caves.
