Christian thought/historiography on the European Witch Trials, What is it?

I am doing research into historical perspectives on the course and causes of the European Witch Trials. Obviously a large amount of historical analysis is dedicated too the influnce of Christianity/Catholicism on these events (R.e malleus maleficarum), however I'm struggling to find a 'counter' to this view. Could anyone explain to be contemporary thought on the witch trials (history) through a Christian lense? Or point me in the direct to scholars on the issue. These are the sorts of things im intrested in: - Can / should the church be held responsible for causing the trials? - What role did the church play in undertaking and increasing witch trials? - What was is the current eccelastical thought, on the churchs role and responsiblity for these sorts of events? - If not the Church, who? - And more generally, any professional or personal thoughts on the trials, from a Christian perspective would also be appreciated. Edit: This question was closed, so as a revision consider this: How does the church respond to its role in the european witch trials
