Off the top of my head ...

Brown, Peter.  The Body and Society: Men, Women,
   and Sexual Renunciation in Early Christianity.
   New York: Columbia UP, 1988.

Brown, Peter.  The Cult of the Saints:
   Its Rise and Function in Latin Christianity.
   Chicago: U of Chicago P, 1980.

http://www.press.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/hfs.cgi/00/284.ctl

Though these might focus a bit too much on the
Christian side of the transition for her purposes. 
Any further specifications'd be appreciated ...
