There many versions of The Bible. The first part of the answer is which bible are you referring to? The second part of the answer is as a source for what claim? If the claim is 'Christians of a certain time period believed the bible said x' than it could be considered a primary source. If the claim is something about the historical time period of Jesus than at best it's secondary because all the books of the New Testament were written decades after Jesus's supposed death, and were of course written from a religious instead of historical viewpoint.

Is the Bible a primary source?

Yes. There authors were there when it happened - even if it was a prophecy the person is only quoting it. So yes! Even my school says it is - and we're not even a Christian school.

How can a secondary source be reliable?

By quoting or referencing primary sources. For example, in the Bible when Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, or any of the other Disciples talk about Jesus they are primary sources, because they witnessed what they are writing about firsthand. Paul, on the other hand, didn't witness these things firsthand, but is hearing or reading about them from those who did.
