We use linked-cluster series expansions, both at T=0 and high temperature, to analyse the phase structure of the spin-$\half$ Heisenberg antiferromagnet with competing first and second-neighbor interactions on the 3-dimensional body-centred-cubic lattice. At zero temperature we find a first-order quantum phase transition at $J_2/J_1 \simeq 0.705 \pm 0.005$ between AF$_1$ (Ne\'el) and AF$_2$ ordered phases. The high temperature series yield quite accurate estimates of the bounding critical line for the AF$_1$ phase, and an apparent critical line for the AF$_2$ phase, with a bicritical point at $J_1/J_2\simeq 0.71$, $kT/J_1\simeq 0.34$. The possibility that this latter transition is first-order cannot be excluded.
