James Morrow's
The Last Witchfinder differs from his previous works in genre (historical fiction rather than SF) but not as much in tone (it's still not the best read for the very religious). Set in England and then the American colonies, the main character is the daughter of a witchfinder who, after her father helped her aunt be burned at the stake, vowed to spend her life proving that his profession had no factual basis.
Oddly, the other narrator is a book: Newton's
Principia Mathematica.
