The earliest bibles - indeed all books - were written by hand, the first printed bible was the Guttenberg Bible, printed in 1454 or 1455.
There are probably hundreds maybe thousands of languages that the Bible is not printed in. For example in PNG there are hundreds of languages and not all of them have a translation of the Bible.
It depends how you define missionary. Gutenberg printed the first Bible. The bible was printed by Gutenberg under the direction and with the help of the Catholic Church. i feel that the decision to make the bible the first book they printed was a rather "missionary" move of all of them.
As the bible is there for all to read at any time they do like, yes the Lutheran people and the Lutheran church do very much read the protestant bible.
When? The Bible is for any time, and all times.
First and above all, God wants people to read the Bible, I guess all Christians would like to see people read the Bible. As for studying the Bible, it will occur more and more when a person reads the Bible.
The first printed Bible was the Gutenberg Bible. (It wasn't printed in English.) I personally use the King James Version. If you want to get extremely technical, the original text for all Bibles comes from mainly the original Greek and Hebrew writings.

Read the bible, all your answers are there.
No it is not, for every kindred tongue and people are entitled to read the scriptures. The bible is not for a select few but for all who have a desire to read it.
----------------------- Christians are all different. Perhaps a small minority read the Bible twice a day, but many never read the Bible except in church, if in fact they attend. No doubt others read it occasionally, even daily. The reasons some read the Bible so frequently can vary from strengthening their faith, to overcoming doubts, or simply because they find the Bible inspirational.
Yes! The Bible was a huge part of education in the 1600s and the 1700s. The main reason they wanted all children to be able to read was so they could read the Bible.
